I was probably a little to positive on that.

For epubs, I am sure that the location is convertible between what the calibre viewer uses and what the RMSDK uses, and hence Kobo devices use for epubs. The structure of the two different locations aren't that dissimilar. And at some time in the past, I have done it manually.

For kepubs, the location is basically an anchor in the book. Every sentence has one. Converting that to the method that calibre uses will probably need the kepub. And a lot of staring at code. And far to many four letter words. But, I haven't really looked at it at all. It might turn out to be easy, or impossible. It won't surprise me if getting to the right paragraph is easy, but, getting to the exact position might be a bit harder. For the reading position, that might be OK. But, I also want to do this for annotations, and the exact position is important there.

I have things floating around in the back of my brain about this. Hopefully they will pop out fully formed when I actually start to do it.
