That reddit quote is from me. With Elipsa, everyone was saying markup on kepubs didn't work without patching, but markup on epub did work. In my experience that is not true for Sage. There was new firmware for the sage released on the 18th and I don't know if that got applied to the Elipsa, but, if it was, I am betting that markup for everything sideloaded except PDF is crippled.
Update on that reddit thread from me, I just got done with Kobo support. They assured me that it does work, but " third party books will still not be fully guaranteed since we didn't code them".
I told them to send me an epub/kepub file that they tested with then. They said they couldn't do that, but I could download a free ebook that is non-drm from the Kobo store.
I downloaded Pride and Prejudice, which is listed as DRM-FREE EPUB and the person I was working with agreed this should work. It didn't. As a comparison I sideloaded the epub and i downloaded a copy from the Kobo store via the cloud. Notetaking/markup worked great on the version downloaded via the cloud and, again, it failed 100% on the version downloaded and side loaded. On the side loaded version the pen would turn the page if i swiped it left/right, but no markup at all was able to be performed.
I have been told that my case has been transferred with an upper team so they can investigate more. Once they get an update, they will get back to me via e-mail.
