Losing Annotations After Chapter Change
Hi
I started reading a new book (side loaded kepub) and whenever I make a highlight/annotation, it sticks fine, but as soon as I go proceed through the book to a new chapter, all annotations disappear. This is the first time I’ve noticed it happening. Other kepubs seem to be fine. If it’s helpful, I run all my books through the polish action in Calibre and convert them on transfer from epub to kepub via kobo touch extended (or is it kobo utilities that does it?) Anything I can do? |

Have you tried using the Calibre editor to check the book for errors? It might have a formatting problem that's causing the error. You could also try running the book through kepubify instead of the KTE driver to see if that makes any difference.

This also happens if the Kobo database is corrupted. Kobo Utilities in Calibre can check it.
Using epub2 may be the most reliable for annotations on Kobo. It's Kobo Touch Extended that makes it into a kepub. You can turn that off to test. However a corrupted database on the Kobo is likely. |

It did have a few errors that couldn't be automatically fixed. But I tested about 10 other books and they all had at least a couple errors. However, I think I fixed it by not upgrading to ePub 3 with the polish action.

Weird side note, I tried turning off the kepub conversion in KTE, but the books still get sent as kepub. Not sure which setting is responsible though. |

So for Kindle: azw3 mobi and for non-Kobo, not Kindle: epub and Kobo might have (if not wanting kepub by default and on the fly conversion off) epub kepub An Android Tablet might also have odt, docx, djvu, txt etc. |
