Help with Kindle/Calibre sync/merge/copy problem! I stupidly emailed my ARC copy of a book (downloaded from Book Funnel as epub/mobi version & then sent to my Kindle (Paperwhite v 5.12.2) via experimental browser. I made all my highlight notes on the book on kindle but now cant do anything with them except extract only the list of highlights which doesnt help at all. I urgently need to be able to see the whole book, complete with highlights, anywhere other than on the kindle. I downloaded the book to Calibre, but now dont know how to transfer the highlights from kindle so they merge/sync with the Calibre version. Can anyone help (Ive tried everything I can think of
), or does anyone know a way to shift the entire highlighted book on my kindle to another format so that I can cut and paste from it??. Thanks! PS: I can follow directions but am not a techie.
