#ACCESS KINDLE NOTES AND HIGHLIGHTS ONLINE HOW TO#
* Don’t presume users will know how to find and access the. It may not persuade a wary person to try your service, but anytime you’re dealing with private information you should make clear how that information will be used and protected. * Your site should include a privacy policy. It’s too bad Kobo doesn’t offer something like this themselves. I think you’ve put together a great service. They’re right this is a sound reason to avoid using the site if you read sensitive documents or have concerns about your security or privacy. Really? You want me to load a file that has a list of every book I have on the device to your web site? And includes the key information that Kobo uses to validate my device every time it calls home? Sorry, as useful as this might be, it’s not going to happen. One commenter pointed out on MR that this site represents a serious security concern: This is a useful site, but it’s not without its issues. is, to the best of my knowledge, the only tool which lets you extract note from a Kobo ereader (I can’t find a way to do this with calibre, in case you were wondering). As you can see, there’s no way to distinguish between a highlight (text copied from the book) form an annotation (a user’s own note):

The site displays the notes onscreen one book at a time, with all of a book’s notes listed on a single page. You’ll need to set up an account, and then upload the “KoboReader.sqlite” file from your Kobo ereader, and once you do you will be able to sort the notes by the book they cam from. I’ve just read on MobileRead about a new site called which can extract the notes on your Kobo ereader and present them in a usable form. Amazon makes it easy for Kindle users to download their notes and highlights, but we can’t say the same for Kobo, which obscures a user’s notes in a database file.įortunately, there’s a solution.
