Most of us however can trace back a note more easily in an ebook than in a separate file - and of course, you also instantly have your entire context.
The whole point is, that they sell these devices with these possibilities because they *know* it's fun and it's handy and it is the way your brain likes it. And the suggestion that you can migrate it is in their guide and in the expectation of compatibility that they create. They just didn't tell us about these terrible gaps in their logic, in their coding, and in their promises.
I will follow the hints by Yokos. Fortunately I'm not totally unfamiliar with those things, but this is a crazy situation the Onyx guys are putting their customers in. Why didn't they at least offer an export of epub to pdf, including the notes? They are the ones who manage the logic to do exactly that. Outside of their device, there's nothing that can put the notes where they belong - except if you take hours and hours to redo it manually on a pdf format.

There is something I do not understand: you can underline and annotate ePub, making a sign in every page, and export all the ePub with your underline and annotation as PDF. The problem IMHO is that Neoreader is not working fine with ePub: the v1 version has not a stable CSS support and, above all, sometimes it changes margins, font, line height or something else, and your are gonna lose a lot of handwritten notes or underline. the last v2 version is still unstable. It's really a shame that hand annotation on reflow is so handy but it just doesn't work. I'm curious to see if the new Kobo solutions will be better.
