I have updated the version to 1.4.4 to make sure we get the right one.

I'm using Calibre on a new system and I'm still getting the same error, so the problem is almost certainly caused by the Kindle.

I ran version 1.4.4 of the test but I'm not getting the path for the book:

Spoiler:

I think you loaded the wrong version. The message says 1.4.3 not 1.4.4. Plus it is missing the logging I added in 1.4.4. The version you need is in this post.

And, it is something on the device. The error is that the plugin is trying to read a book to get metadata. It is trying to read it as a mobi (or related format). But, when the calibre routines check the format by looking at a particular spot in the file, it is not finding the expected value. It is finding what is shown in the last line of the log.

That's the version I'm using and the one I used to generate the last log I posted.

Hmm, I don't know what is going on. The version I pointed to downloads for me as 1.4.4. I've attached another version that should be 1.4.5. Before installing it, can you delete the directory "annotations_resources" that is in the plugins directory?

Ok, it's correctly identified as 1.4.5 and I'm now getting the directories too:

That tells me the culprit is "D:\documents\Evans, Richard J_\Third Reich at War_ How the Nazis Led Germany From Conquest to Disaster, The - Richard J. Evans.mob". Could you get a copy off the device and send it to me? Either put it somewhere I can download it and PM the location, or PM me for an email address.

And then can you delete the book and try again? If it gets past that, it will show that this is the problem.

Success! It appears the above book is corrupted... Thanks for your patience.

Good to hear. As the problem is the book type in the file, a mobi to mobi conversion will probably fix it. Though calibre might raise an error that it has the wrong book type.

I just found this plug-in today and I could cry with joy. It's everything I've wanted to capture annotations. Thank you so much for creating and maintaining it, very useful!

I have noticed that from certain update of Kindle Paperwhite the parsing of myclippings.txt file for position of the highlight in book is failing. I have done little digging and found out that location text in MyClippings has been changed as follows:

example of the old text:
Your Highlight Location 93-96

example of the new text:
Your Highlight at location 206-206

I looked at the code in ParseKindleMyClippingsTxt.py and found out that very little change is needed to make this work again:

starting at line 96 (underlined line is added)

Code:

_LOCATION_REGEX = {
    'en': (r"\sLocation\s*%s",
           r"\slocation\s*%s",
           r"\sLoc\.\s*%s",),
    'de': (r"\sPosition\s*%s",),
    'es': (r"\sPosición\s*%s",),
    'fr': (r"\sEmplacement\s*%s",),
    'it': (r"\sPosizione\s*%s",),
    'jp': (r"\s位置No.\s*%s",),
    'pt': (r"\sPosição\s*%s",),
    'ch': (r"\s位置\s*%s",),
}

Thanks for that. I'll try and prepare an update over the weekend.

Hi,

first I am talking about Kindle Paperwhite. It has notes and highlights stored in file MyClippings.txt This file can be, and it is, removed when you do reboot or sometimes when software is updated. I had made in past few copies of this file. I like to read them using the annotation plug-in.

I have found in developer_notes.txt file in the plugin's zip following note:

Quote:

There are three user-initiated paths to importing annotations:
1.*User drags a .MRV, .MRVI or .TXT file to the plug-in icon. If the dropped file has the proper mime content, drop_event() fires do_drop_event(), which passes the dropped file to each of the installed reader classes until it is successfully parsed, or informs the user that no installed class could parse the file.

2. User invokes the dropdown menu item 'Fetch annotations from <connected device>' (when a supported device is connected).

3.*User invokes the dropdown menu item 'Import annotations from <reader class>'.

I was wondering should dragging and dropping of myClippings.txt file on the icon of the annotation plugin work like it is described in point 1?

At this moment it doesn't work for me and I am not sure:

Did I misunderstand the note in point 1
Is MyClippings.txt file not the expected format
or is something broken?

Thank you for helping.

Thank you David!. I wonder why the end location of the note/highlight is not stored in database even it is parsed in code (at least for paperwhite)

No, you don't misunderstand anything, and there isn't anything broken. The problem is that dropping a file on the button triggers the import function. This will read a file to get the annotations, but there is no code to handle importing from this type of file.

The plugin has two ways to get annotations. "Fetch" is used to get annotations from the connected device. "Import" is used to get the annotations from a file or pasted into a prompt. In both cases, there needs to be some code to handle the format. For import, the only known format is "Goodreader" which is an iOS reading app.

It might be possible to create the import code for the myClippings.txt file. But, can you copy it back to the Kindle and do a fetch? Maybe backup the current file, put your old version on, fetch the annotations and the put the current file back.

The function ParseKindleMyClippingsTxt.py does the parsing of the files, It may be not that difficult to use it for action triggered by dropping file. (It is funny that cursor icon indicates that drag and drop is not supported)

I tried your idea to put old file back and run Fetch annotation from Kindle. Interesting is that it doesn't fetch all annotations only some and I suspect only those whose books are still loaded in Kindle. Why is that? Is it done in step when progress bar is displayed with text "Getting installed books fro Kindle"?
All the info needed for import is in the MyClippings.txt file, so not really need to scan books on kindle.
That means that I am not able to fetch annotations from the books which are still in calibre but not on Kindle anymore.
