Elaine T · 07-05-2023, 10:03 PM

I have several hundred thousand bookmarks on my kindle which I would really like to have backed up by importing them into Calibre along with the books they go with. I've poked around and find mention of being able to import and export annotations, which I've tried, and it doesn't seem to consider bookmarks as importable annotations. Or maybe I should do it through some way other than "add book from single folder" to get the extra files associated with the book? I've never figured out how to get Calibre to bring in anything except the book file.

IS there a way to get the bookmark files that I've missed? (quite possible). If there isn't, would it be possible to add one? Or is someone - not me, not without handholding - capable of writing a plug-in to do so?

Thank you very much for any help.
