iPhone MapleRead, can one export notes, annotations etc?

[relayer250]

To MapleRead users, Is there any way to export the notes and annotations made to books in MapleRead so that they can be read outside of the app? My main concern here is creating a copy ever so often and updating it in my Calibre library.

Thanks!

Yes, you can.

Go into Notes. Click edit. Select all. The icon on the left corner will be enabled. If you click that it will allow you to share your notes.

Thank you. I noticed none of them allow integration into the file itself so I suppose that always is the case.

If you sync your MapleRead data to the cloud, then there is already a copy of the data accessible via a web browser. I really like this feature, as it makes accessing my notes as easy as looking up something on the web, when I do more serious browsing or research on a topic.

If you wish, you may save the data of each book in its own HTML file on your computer too.

Actually, I am not aware of any other e-reader app offering the above feature. Does anyone know?

Spoiler:

The HTML file is pretty structured. Following is a fragment of such an HTML file corresponding to a highlight I made in Chapter 1 of an EPUB book I finished reading some time ago.

<div class='noteMark'>
<div class='quotation'>In 1938 humans were offered three global stories to choose from, in 1968 just two, in 1998 a single story seemed to prevail; in 2018 we are down to zero.</div>
<div class='comment'></div>
<div class='navLabel'>1. Disillusionment: The end of history has been postponed □ <span class='priority'>4</span></div>
</div>

The structure and meaning should be quite obvious to those who are familiar with the syntax of HTML. The term "navLabel", as borrowed from EPUB terminology, means "navigation label", which is kind of a chapter or section label in a traditional Table of Contents.

Thanks for the help. I have come across this page before but never realized that one could access the annotations and vocab though here.
