Hello,
I'm a recent owner of a Cybook Odyssey HD and I mainly buy it to read articles for my Ph.D research.
So I highly use the annotation features (I tap the upper right of the screen to show quickly the annotation menu).
I use Calibre to manage my book collection. I've seen that there is in Calibre a function to get the annotation back from the device. But apparently it works only with a Kindle.
I try also to read the .epub or .pdf with Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 (on mac os), and each time I open a file with annotations it crash..
So for now the only solution I've found is to connect the Cybook, open the folder "Digital Editions" and inside this folder there is an hidden folder named "
Annotations".
Inside this folder you can find
.annot file, which when you open it with a text editor is basically an XML file.
Here what it's look like for an .epub :
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<annotationSet xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/digitaleditions/annotations" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<timestamps>
<timestamp name="bookmark" value="2013-03-04T15:16:32"></timestamp>
<timestamp name="annotation" value="2013-03-04T15:13:36"></timestamp>
</timestamps>
<publication></publication>
<annotation color="#EE00EE">
<target>
<fragment start="index_split_001.html#point(/1/4/22:1)" end="index_split_001.html#point(/1/4/23/5:165)">
<text>The annotation I made on my epub or pdf</text>
</fragment>
</target>
|
So the annotated text is in between the <text> </text>
I manage to use
regular expression to extract only these part.
Search and replace with regex : </text>*.*<text>
After that I have a text file with only the annotations, but no page indication from where they are.
I'm also using
Zotero and this could be useful in my work.
Does anyone manage to transfer the annotation made on a Cybook back to a PDF on a computer ?
