v0.9.8.3 was made available yesterday for Windows and Linux.
For Linux .3 fixes a minor issue with stored filepaths and special characters due to Qt5.

The coming weeks I've got some more time (though the weather is tempting...).
I'll try fix up the talked about additions, and the Buster build.

Thank you for also updating the documentation. Programming is always more fun, but documentation is core for a good solution to me.
It's often skipped, yes. Reckoned that if it could prevent a few questions, it was worth it. Time-wise, perhaps less so, but we're well past that point already.
The underlying API is undocumented, but it'll change a bit. FYI, AVATeR is actually the front-end, with a library-ish underlayer that manages the readers, annotations, etc. Ideally that would get opened up one day, but that's still future stuff now. It'll have to offer some added advantages, and require broader support/adaption. We'll see.

I will dig a bit deeper into the page number issue. I have old books which have way to many annotations listed for the 1st page. I am not sure about the pattern yet (e.g. book not any more in the cloud, book/not downloaded, pdf/epub, ...).
I'm curious It are probably highlights edited with the note app. IIRC, those loose their location data. So that's another bug (AKA "you're holding using it wrong"). Easy to solve as well.

I am already very happy with the version and will be waiting for the next bigger update. while waiting I will do some free testing to find out more
Nice to hear. I'm very grateful for your help so far. You mentioned 'free', likely as in 'as it goes'. I'll add that this program is very niche, with PB users being already a minority. If Kobo support is added, that could expand, but I don't really expect it to get large anytime soon, if ever. As for money, it could be sold. And I won't ask much, but I ain't too keen on all the effort with keys, online shop, etc. For an android app that's easier. But perhaps I'm too nice. Then again, the idea was to learn and get work, etc. Again, we'll see. So far, use it freely and enjoy it.
