lost all highlights and notes on Adobe Digital Editons
The only suspicious thing was I started out with one book and ended up with four (of the same book). None of them display the highlighting or notes. I Googled around and some people said,'Don't worry. You can restore the highlighting because the annotations files can't be deleted.' Well, I did find the annotations files and one of them is loaded with stuff, but how do I get it to restore the highlights and notes to my book? Thanks.

Sorry but is this relevant to a Linux forum? I checked the Adobe Digital Editions (I assume Editons was a typo) and they only support MacOS and Windows. Maybe that's the problem???

Yes, you could try running it using Wine or in a VM (virtual machine) but is it worth it? As you may know, Adobe has turned its back on Linux and has withdrawn Linux support from all its products. I'm not sure what you want to use ADE for but have you looked at either Calibre or Libreoffice (there's an extension called Writer2epub). I use Calibre to convert pdf files to epub (actually Mobi files for Kindle) and it works a treat.
Keep the faith. :) jdk |

I had been using a Bookeen Cybook3 (French) Ebook for a few years until the screen died. I then switched to a Kindle 4 because (a) it was cheap (around 50£) and worked well. I have never enabled the Wifi and that keeps Amazon far far away from my Kindle which is how I like it. Calibre absolutely LOVES my Kindle and does a fantastic job of converting a variety of formats to the one Kindle uses. Even pdf files, the bain of Cybook, come out quite well with Kindle. Out of curiosity, what kind of ebook is the "free" ebook that forces you to get an account with Adobe? I've never heard of such a disgusting policy. :(
And a Happy Christmas to you but this morning here in Thanet the winds are 53 km/h so I may be in Finland by Christmas. jdk |

Regarding the free book I got an email from Kobo saying I could download the ebook Write Publish Repeat for free. It was quite the run-around (entering these codes that didn't work) even getting the file. Then the file was a URLLink.acsm (I still don't know what that is) that in order to open I had to go to Adobe and open an account (where I ran into new hassles) so I could read the book in Adobe Digitial Editions. As with many "free" things they still extract their pound of flesh. Thanks for the heads-up about Calibre's effectiveness in converting files. I just bought an old Sony PRC300 (that I'm getting endless grief from friends for buying) (It was $29.) I'll probably buy a Kindle though when the price drops below $50. Why have you never enabled the wi-fi on your Kindle? Don't you ever buy ebooks from Amazon? Finland less windy than England? Colder, no? Why would you go there? |
