No worries. I thought the log did not seem very informative when I reviewed it before posting! Here it is:

I would also like to add some context, if that might help (skip to last paragraph for
tl;dr). I really want to sever all ties with proprietary ecosystem/apps, manage my own library, set up my own cloud etc. I had been thinking about it for a while and now I'm going for it. I still want to buy ebooks, but I am leaning very much towards the idea of using my books in any way I see fit, once purchased and downloaded.
I am doing an M.Sc and using tons of ebooks as sources. I was fine with Kindle until I started finding some books I needed only from alternative sources. Amazon does not extend WhisperSync services to personal documents or side-loaded books. I am searching for the best way - for me - to sync reading progress and annotations and notes etc. across my devices, using free and/or open-source apps and software as much as possible. I am researching all options now so it's not done yet. By the way, any advice would be welcomed! I use Windows 7, Linux, Android and a Kindle 3. Cross-platform software is preferred, and future devices will be chosen with Calibre integration and hacking community as top criteria.
How is all this relevant to the topic here? As long as I could
get my highlights/notes, I'd be happy. I will probably be wiping my Kindle anyways and flash it with a third-party firmware (Duokan, Aldiko...) so I won't need to sync "my clippings" though Amazon anymore, I just want to transfer them into my library (my multiple-backup library) once and for all.
In other words, any solution would do, provided it creates annotations in Calibre that I can consult and edit and add to using the software/apps I will now be using to work with ebooks. I'm looking at FBreader, Coolreader, Evince, Okular.... Moon+... I'm in the process of finding out and testing the highlights/notes editing and syncing they might offer, and their integration with Calibre.
So the solution to my problem may well be this plugin, if we can get it to work thanks to your help
davidfor (or the help of other honoured members of this forum who happen to be reading this thread). But in the meantime, I'm trying to figure out another method, maybe less automated than a neat plugin. See attached picture and comment if you are curious or aware of a different tactic.
tl;dr: My only objective is to import my Amazon Kindle notes and highlights into Calibre so I can append them permanently to my ebooks, that I now manage with Calibre. Although it would be nice, it would not be necessary to sync the notes on the Kindle after they are imported in Calibre.
THANKS ! ! !
