You'd have to add a bunch of fancy CSS styles to draw shaded backgrounds around certain blocks of text to simulate highlights, I guess. Neither Kobo nor Amazon has mechanisms for doing that.

I managed to find a way.
Koreader creates a .sdr folder wherever you read a book, where it stores highlightes, notes and such. I installed Koreader on a Linux install, and just copied the book and the sdr folder, works like a charm. It has a .lua file in it and that has all of it. Probalby just replace that .lua file every time I want to check out my newest highlights. Plus will install a Virtual Machine on my Windows, so i have it on Windows too, or maybe install Koreader with the Android subsystem in win11, if I an manage it. If I can get Dropbox to actually work on Koreader and sync the folder, It's pretty much a jankier sync type situation, and I'm ok with that, because the Elipsa is the superior device, to the Scribe, in every way.
