Yes, this is exactly what i mean
. I think cut and paste will not solve the different format/template problem. I think the first step, maybe the plugin can implement a CSV format template (where user can paste in the information in respective cell/collumn with excel).

It is my intention to extend the Annotations plugin to create calibre annotations. But, that requires time, and enough information in the annotation on the device to make that worthwhile. For Kobo devices, I can get the actual location of the annotation in the book and should be able to translate that to what calibre needs.

This is very exciting to know!
May I ask, would this also apply to Kobo reading application?

But, for Kindles there is only a page number or location number. It will be impossible to use these to correctly put the annotations in the book.

This is the problem i stated in my first post. All the devices and app will have their own format. I am not a programer so this may sound weird, but what i am suggesting is that the annotation plugin just extract the book title and annotation from the reading app/device. Then using the book title to match book. Then use calibre search to locate the annotation text in the book passage. Then use this information to generate/integrate the fetched annotation into calibre annotation. In my opinion, this is the way to by pass the format problem.
