Nobody asked before, and my instructions were incomplete.

It turns out that the output of azw3r.pl needs to be sorted. In addition, notes_insert.pl will not work correctly if both highlights and notes are in its input file.

So assuming the notes or highlights file has been sorted, the usage for notes_insert.pl is:
Code:
perl notes_insert.pl -r assembled_text.dat < notes.txt > annotated_book.html
ebook-convert annotated_book.html annotated_book.pdf
ebook-convert is the calibre ebook converter. I assume the calibre GUI would work as well.

Of course, you can use any file names you like for input and output files.
