Note-taking with KOReader on Libra Colour?

[ratemypraxis]

Hi ebook worms,

I got a Kobo Libra Color some weeks ago (upgrading from an old Nook 2) and installed KOReader, which I am loving, but I cannot figure out if there is a better way to manage my reading alongside note taking.

Do I always have to exit KOReader to be able to take notes? Is the stock notebook functionality all we have right now?

I have Nickelmenu installed which makes it a bit more convenient but my main use case is for referencing readings and taking notes during class and it takes a bit longer than I can make use of.

This week I have been close to just leaving KOReader for good, which would be sad, but I wanted to see if other folks on here have found any practical solutions here?

Also, as a tangent I cannot figure out how to have the automatic Kepub conversions in Calibre also if anyone can link me to some additional resources.

Thank you for reading
