Hello
I have a list of highlights from Apple Books app, and am trying to move them all to an open format.
The opf file in the Calibre directories looked promising but I'm told these files are not the Way as it is only used to restore the database, which never gets corrupted (q.v. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...15&postcount=5). Is there a way to use a shell script and cram my highlights into Calibre from the command line? :-). Thanks
And conversely can they be easily exported? My goal here is to own my own data.
Thank you!
