PocketbookAnnotations

This repository provides a way to extract annotations from PocketBook sqlite database.

Current functionality:

• Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with PocketBook Touch HD 2. I'll be glad to add some other platforms, but I need someone to give me database for testing.

• VueJS+HTML UI, in plans adding desktop interface

• Allows to view annotations by book and export them in one Markdown file

• Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with python 3.6+

• Open PDF files on annotated page (Ubuntu based systems only)

• Worked on Windows with some limitations:

  • Opening PDF editor not allowed. Only viewing and downloading annotations

Plans:

• Port on MacOS systems
• Desktop UI and executable bundle
• Mark annotations as processed and don't show them (save state on the disk)

Requirements:

• python 3.6+
• pipenv
• Linux based system (Tested on Ubuntu 16.04)
