I have a PocketBook Touch Lux 3 where annotations are stored in html files in /system/config/Active Contents. There are position and endposition properties that obviously refer to locations within the html files of the epub, but I haven't been able to interpret them.

For example,

Code:

position="OEBPS/Text/chapter01.html#point(/1/4/230/1:61)"

The :61 appears to refer to the character position in a line, but I don't know what the /1/4/230/ part means. It's definitely not a line number: the file I took this example from doesn't even have 230 lines.

Any pointers?
