Aura HD How to view all underlining and annotations

n3xtITA · 02-21-2014, 12:52 PM

You can view all the underlining and annotations of all the books i've already read?? Open one by one the books already read is really stressful. And I can not remember if I pointed out some books or records added, so they are constrained to open them all to see. Sorry for the English.

Do you want to export all your annotations?

Too. But I would like to see all the annotations and underlining on one screen.

you can do that for a single book (if you look at the index, the annotations should be there), but I do not think you can do it from the device - I don't have an Aura though, but I doubt you can get a screen with all the annotations for all the books, if this is what you mean.
You can extract this information from the device, though, as all the annotations are stored in a database. There are various utilities to do so, but probably this is not what you want, sorry!

This is probably not what you are looking for, but in the Kobo Start Menu, you can find the executable sqlite3, and you can find an unsophisticated example script .kobo\kbmenu\scripts\show_infos\show_db_author.sh. Listing the annotations ordered according to books and chapters would of course need some more effort.

on the main screen I can see the number of annotation for each book.

in the menu of the books there is no number and are forced to open it and click on ANNOTATION

There is only this way to see the records of a book, click them one by one?
There is a faster way, maybe see all annotations together?
Sorry for Eng.

If it is really important to you, you could use calibre to add the annotations to each book, then cut and paste them from each book to a single document outside of calibre. Sounds like a lot of work to me, though.

Kindle will put all your annotations from each book in one file as you make them, but that file can get really huge if you read a lot of books.

Just in case you don't know, if you tap the number of annotations here, it will open the annotation list for the book. From the list, you can change them (3.2.0 fixes a bug related to this and epubs) or open the book to the annotation.

You make good point that number of Annotations for each book should be displayed with library book list. You should request this at Kobo Touch Future Feature Request Thread including link to this thread in your post.

And you can't see the number of annotations if your device is using the old GUI, as for instance the Mini

I liked the ability to see all the highlights and bookmarks in one list with the Sony.
