Hi David, Okay, I understand there isn't an online option. I'm okay with an offline option (an option to get them onto my USB-connected computer).

You mentioned four ways. I understand that "repeating would be a waste of time". Linking to them, however, wouldn't be. In fact, linking to them would be a timesaver.
Now, I have to search through multiple threads/posts, and some could be outdated. Anyway, if there's anyone who know what these four programs are, I'd appreciate it.

So far I came across https://www.matteopezzi.com/how-to-e...-on-kobo-aura/

Add the following to to “Kobo eReader.config” file:

[FeatureSettings]
ExportHighlights=true

With this, the long press menu of a book will have an extra option, “Export highlights."
I wonder if geek1011 has included this in his patching.

davidfor, last week i installed your KoboUtilities plugin, to force sync metadata. I have just seen from the the plugin's dropdown menu that there are 3 entries that mention annotations:
1. Copy annotations for selected books
2. Backup annotation file
3. Remove annotation file

I gather that this method #2. I'd like to know
A) Is there a way, in Calibre (or inside your Calibre plugin) to see/sort through all books which have annotations? I can't seem to find/show a column for "Contains Annotations"
B) If a user chooses "Backup annotation file", where is it backed up to?
C) If a user chooses "Copy annotations for selected books", where are the annotations copied to?

I think I found method 3: "GUI Plugins" by DavidFor (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=241206)

I wonder what the difference between DavidFor's two Calibre plugins are, when it comes to annotations.
