You can view the annotations from the annotations list inside the book, or from the books menu in the book list.

There are various ways to get the annotations out depending on how you want to use them. There is an option you can add to the config file to have an export from the books menu.

No I haven't tried it since I don't have a device to try it on, but that will be rectified soon. I'm glad the functionality exists though, thanks for letting me know.

The most I've done is about 980 in one book. I use the Kobo Utilities in Calibre (David's good work), or Annotations in Calibre for a Kindle. I copy/paste the Kobo Utilities "Get Annotation" into a text file where I reformat it for my needs.

The Kobo Annotation support is fine on the device.

You can also use a WP to make a document like a diary, use Calibre to make it into an epub and then add notes.

I kind of dread how high my annotations per book count is going to be, haha.

Kobo eReader.conf

Find the heading:

[FeatureSettings]

And add or edit this line:

ExportHighlights=true

You'll then find an option to export annotations to a text file (which will be saved in the device's root directory) on the Annotations menu.

Awesome, thanks!
