Thank you, Kovid! It indeed did the trick with an EPUB file, as the Viewer saves a base64-encoded version of my highlights as a text file inside the file. Very good!

But can you please be also more specific about those 'multiple places' and tip me on the capacity of other file types (I mostly read books written in flowing PDF, FB2, and MOBI) to store bookmarks a.k.a highlights without exporting them?

I guess one of such locations is $HOME/.cache/calibre, where I can see calibre-book-annotations.json with highlights of the book I'm currently reading. But judging from the content of the folder, it's EPUB-specific, hence my question about other file types.

Again, thank you!
