I'm guessing that the sdr folder contains that info in the kindle, which is out of reach then I suppose. But if I understood you correctly, it seems then that the locations in the kindle are basically used to narrow down where the locations are while text search is used to find the actual highlighted text?
So the approximations of the locations are probably difficult to reproduce? But in that case you could just use pages instead. (for the most common case where there's only one image on one page, and then highlighting text next to the image, and text search, for the other rarer cases).

This doesn't really belong to the kobo forum but the unpacked kindle toc.ocx doesn't contain the correct paging.
When parsing the html I get that my example book has 465 pages while the kindle device shows that it has over 600 (on the web it says that it has 458). Which probably means that i can't use pages either on the kindle :/?? (Have to ask on the other forum). I'm guessing that the same issues doesn't exist when using epub on the kobo? But perhaps they appear if you start converting the ebook back and forth betweemn different formats?
