The Pocketbook note files do not distinguish between what you've highlighted and your own annotations. The highlighting also repeats the first 100 Characters in bold followed by the highlighted text, which is then followed by the (undifferentiated annotation). MESSY!!! The only way to see what I myself wrote here as my own annotation is to use CAPITAL LETTERS ALL THE TIME for an annotation. The Toxaris annotation exporter highlights in yellow your own highlights, and offers a separate column next to each highlight for an annotation to that highlight. THAT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO READ THROUGH!!! |

The new software for the Pocketbook Touch HD is available. At least I think it is on the Russian website and on the USA page for the Touch HD 631:
http://www.pocketbook-int.com/us/sup...tbook-touch-hd Can anyone tell us whether they fixed the highlighting and annotations? And how they work now? Cheers to all? P.S. No question, this is a great device, if only it would work correctly... |

The new PB 631 came with new software, so there is no earlier version to roll back to. I am familiar with the update technology, since I still own a PB 623. All PB devices accept a software version only if it is written for the device itself. Thus you can't update a PB 631 with software for a PB 625. The device won't allow it. It would help if you were better informed. Sad that you would use the term "racist" against a person of colour. Perhaps "YOU" want to apologize. Alternatively, I could report you to the moderators. I created this thread to discuss the PB 631 annotations by comparison with Kobo and Sony devices using Toxaris technology. True, I should have labelled the thread Pocketbook PB 631 Annotation Extraction (adding the PB 631 to the thread's title; but others here have told YOU (see NASCARaddicted's comment above to you) that we are discussing PB 631 devices. Zu Ihren Links: In den Anmerkungen zu dem neusten Update der Software ist nichts, aber gar nichts, von der Anmerkungsproblematik zu lesen. Please rant in someone else's thread. |

Communication problems
@michailbachtin
Something went terribly wrong in this thread! I think it is time for some clarification. 1) First of all, this is an open forum were people share information. 2) This is the developer thread intended for sharing infos about developing software for the specific branche, depending even more on clear informations. 3) My intentions about participating were to help with the problem and not to pester you. 4) If You had been more specific at the beginning a lot of confusion could have been avoided. But lets analyse this: You started the thread with a quite unspecific problem description asking for help and offering more information: Why unspecific? You wrote about the Quote:
Quote:
Problem description: Quote:
Annotations are now stored in the a database file. There is no way to get to them. Previous firmware of the aforementioned Pocketbook devices did not have this flaw. Quote:
Ok I thought, that is something I can work with. I invested some time to look at it. First I made sure I had the latest version of „the new software for Pocketbook series of eReaders“ and looked at it. I could not find your problem. Second I downloaded the database file you mentioned to see, if I can find the problem and be of any help, and here some question arose. So I did what You asked as to do, having a look at the problem and asking questions to specify the problem: What now came after some days was not of any help. A long text about your contact to custumer service, how disappointed You are with Pocketbook and a call for us to stand up for a better software against the developer Pocketbook but not a single helpful comment about the questions asked to clarify the problem. That was frankly rude so I commented on the question about answering questions. Here at last came something helpful. You acknowledged contrary to what You wrote in the first post that: Quote:
Quote:
Second: You were wrong. There is a forced firmware update possibility and from Your unclear specification as quoted above I still assumed You are not aware of it. Sorry but that was not an appropriate answer to someone who wanted to help with Your problem and I felt chided by someone who is narrowminded focussed on his specific device. That was what I was trying to say with „racist about Your device“. I’m sorry that You interpreted this as „You are a racist“ that was nether intended and I appologize for it. I don’t care about Your sex, colour or anything else. I just was focussed on the problem You wrote about and how to solve this. In the last post You clarified at last, that the PB 631 came delivered with that new annotation system and that they didn’t change it with a firmware update. If this info would have been in the first post … My last effort to help You was: I did give You the tools to look for it yourself and see, that they didn’t solve the problem. That could have helped You. But no, even that You interpreted as ranting in Your thread, sorry I don’t know what to say about that … |

Here is the answer that I got: Quote:
(just to add: right now, on the PB Homepage, you can download 5.16. So I hope we will get a solution for our problem in the near future. |

@ NASCARaddicted
Thanks for the helpful info. We'll all be waiting for their solution. But I get the feeling that the Pocketbook techs are trying to do it right this time. About a year ago, I suggested they try integrating their notes and annotations with a plugin to export them to Calibre. And I sent them copies of Toxaris's annotation extractor. They showed interest in both possibilities. So there's hope! |

Hi,
I just ordered a Pocketbook 626 (Touch Lux 3). After reading this thread, I am curious to know what format the exported notes and annotations are in on the Pocketbook 626. Will it be on the database format that is linked in the first post? Or is it impossible to know without knowing which firmware comes preloaded on the device? Is it different between PDF and ebooks annotations? |

@ chefo
The PDF notes and the Epub notes should work fine on your device. The Touch Lux 3 uses the old system, so all notes are stored and exportable from the hidden system directory of the device (system/config/active contents). Cheers! |

Thanks for replying michailbachtin,
I just got the device and I agree that the output html format is quite unreadable, especially when it comes to differentiate note that I have written from my text highlights. However, this is not a big issue for me since I my usual workflow when taking notes in physical books and PDFs is to flip through all the pages afterwards and transfer the note to my computer. This serves as a good review and contextualizes the note further. Naturally it takes more time, the pdf annotation screenshots that the pocketbook saves might be useful for this. |

Found something to extract highlights from my PocketBook HD here: https://www.aar-innovations.com/high...-e-ink-readers It is rather simple but get things done--I got all my highlights in a txt file.

Looks nice. Right now, I haven't my Pocketbook near me, so I can't test it, but if it works like you describe it ...
Do you know about an offline version? When it comes to stuff like this, I prefer something that can be downloaded. You never know, how long this page will be online - it could be gone tomorrow, or it could last for 20 years ... |

I have inkPad2 and old way of storing notes only in html files.
I am also not very happy about making highlights. The responsiveness and precision very much depends on font which you are using. |
