Hello everyone,

despite being an avid Kindle user on PC and Android, I bought a cheap used Tolino to have an actual e-reader, because reading is especially tiring on my Android phone.

Getting my e-books from Kindle for PC onto the Tolino is pretty easy thanks to Calibre and some plugins. However, I would like to also transfer my annotations from Kindle to the Tolino.

I guess the workflow would be to get my annotations from Kindle to Calibre and then from Calibre to Tolino.

Unfortunately, the only thing I found so far is the "Annotation plugin", which only seems to work with an actual Kindle device, not with Kindle for PC. Besides that, the plugin doesn't seem to use the actual annotation feature in Calibre but a separate "comments" column.

Is there a way to get my annotations from Kindle for PC to Calibre (and then onto the Tolino)?
