You can then paste them back into Calibre.


Edit:
On Kobo you can also edit the config so there is an extra context menu item per ebook to allow export as a text file. Then you can copy it off using USB transfer in a file manager, but I found Annotations simpler, then Kobo Utilities suited my use case better.
Lovely.

I prefer the automation of just importing everything with one click, then accessing it in the database as necessary for further integrations (e.g.: I automatically push my annotations into my writing app—Obsidian—and publish them inline on my personal ebook library webapp (linked in signature below).
