Still I haven't figured out how to export my notes in an easy to digest way. It seems to e-mail me a marginpkg file which I can unzip and then inside is an sqlite file which may contain my annotations.
Weird how this is so difficult for an app.

You’ve chosen to reply to a seven year old post. You’re looking at the fourth and final post from our friend, Curmudgeon101, a more aptly named individual if there ever was. He came in like a storm, then never returned, which is too bad because syncing used to not work with Kobo’s iOS app to any other Kobo instance, but has improved over time. I recently was complaining about this very syncing issue in another thread. Eventually, Kobo’s sync does get around to finding parity. They had things worked out about two years ago, and then whatever. However, I’m not sure one can get those annotations easily from the iOS app still. That’s easier done with a Kobo eReader and Calibre.
So let’s talk MarginNotes! I’ve never even heard of this app before, so I was looking into it. You’re right that it’s a mess, but it does seem powerful. It seems perfect for academics, assuming you can get the textbook into the app.
Looking at the way the software is designed and used, I don’t think it was ever intended to export a raw annotation dump because of the way it displays notes using MindMap. It exports only to certain programs: OmniOutliner, MindManager, Evernote, and Anki.
