I do this too using my remarkable (reader tablet )and then scripts that export highlights / notes which I then index for as plaintext - it makes this process much more seamless.
- ngai_aku 5y agoI’ve heard that the Remarkable does not function well as a reader. Is that true?
- etherio 5y agoThis is just subjective, but I use it to read many books and enjoy it. I can scribble / highlight / notetake very easily and find the whole experience quite convenient. Where did you hear that?
- ngai_aku 5y agoOh, I was just reading reviews (probably on reddit?), and that seemed to be a consistent opinion. It looks like a really cool device, but I've heard it's a little one-dimensional. Edit: Looks like your link to the sibling comment is for extracting annotations from pdf. Are most of the books you're reading on remarkable in pdf format instead of epub?
- etherio 5y agoYeah usually I read in PDF format for this purpose. Not sure but maybe there are alternatives for epub.
- d4rkp4ttern 5y agoWould you mind elaborating — What is your exact process to export highlights and notes from RM2 ?
- etherio 5y agoI use https://github.com/lucasrla/remarks https://github.com/lucasrla/remarks, which OCRs (text recognition) your highlights to extract what exactly was highlighted, and also outputs screenshots of all pages on which I wrote notes. This way I can go through my annotations sequentially, save highlights / their main ideas, and reformulate my notes into plaintext a bit more clearly.
- d4rkp4ttern 5y agothis looks very useful, thanks!
