Moon+ Reader Pro : highlights sharing with Calibre ?

[SvenSND]

Hye all MobileRead community members

I'm using Moon+ Reader on Android, and Calibre on Windows for reading my ebooks.

I'm used to highligh the important parts for working. I'm wondering is there is a way to share these highlights between devices, and especially with Calibre ?

Is there a way to save these highlights directly in the epub files and not in separated files ?

Thanks, have a nice day

The IPDF has still not standardized annotations. Most devices/apps use their own custom schemes.

I suggest seeing if you can export your highlights from the reader app as plaintext.

Thanks eschwartz !!
I can export them into a plain text file, but i can't find how to import them ? I have the same problem export/import, between android devices

The best you can hope for is exporting them and reading with Notepad.
Importing would require that the device/app maker built an import/export functionality in.

(Although a number of apps/devices that use Adobe RMSDK use a common annotations scheme, for which people have successfully swapped in the raw data files extracted from another device/app's data storage areas. I don't believe that is the case with Moon+.)

Thanks again. There's no import function unfortunately. I fact i'd like the highlights to be directly put in the epub, so that i can read it anywhere with the note. But it doesn't seem to be possible ?!

Well, you can always manually edit the EPUB using calibre's E-Book Editor, and include the highlights as part of the book itself, with notes appearing inline.

But as I said above, there is currently no standard that would allow you to annotate an ebook in a way that follows the book around from app to app.
The IPDF would much rather play around with embedding videos in your books.

Yes, but i mainly use my nexus tab to read during every day travels, calibre is only on my computer . Seems there's no solution
