Are koreader pdfs portable?

milmike0 · 07-29-2014, 07:27 PM

HI everyone.

I am looking forward to setting my Paperwhite free.

I would like to make annotations to my personal pdf's that I put on PW and be able to copy the doc back to my PC so I have a backup of the pdf. I can do this with my android tablet of course but I like the paperwhite for reading in the sun. ( and we don't get enough sun in Wisconsin). Is Koreader a real pdf reader?That is:

1.Does Koreader save a copy of the highlights like the Kindle Clippings file?

2. Does it allow me to highlight text?

3. If yes to #2, will my highlighted text become a part of the pdf? That is when I'm finished with the book can I simply drag it back to my PC with the highlights intact?

4. Slightly off subject, and probably foolish, but can I load any Android pdf reader to the PW after jailbreaking?

Thanks so much for any advice.

4) No. Kindles are not Android-based, and cannot run Android apps.

1. Yes. The highlighted text is saved into "My Clippings.txt" file and can be exported to Evernote directly in Koreader.
2. Yes. Highlightling is supported in EPUB/PDF/DJVU documents, even in scanned PDFs.
3. Yes.
4. Only if an Android ROM is ported to Kindle device.
