Calibre Annotations - highlight import script?

vain.bystander · 08-30-2021, 07:07 AM

Hi there!

I wonder whether there is some hack to speed up my note taking/highlighting workflow.

I read my book on my Kindle and do highlights. Then I go on my desktop, fetch highlights from the book via Annotations plugin and then manually search (ctrl+f) each highlight in the ebook-viewer and "re-highlight it" again, so I can see the highlights in the context of the ebook-viewer, so I create more extensive book summary on my computer.

Isn't there way how to automate this process? Did anybody tried before? If you have any handy script for this, please share it! Thank you

PS. the screenshot what my current slow workflow attached below

No there is no script to convert between kindle and calibre highlights. I believe @davidfor has said it is on his TODO list.
