Beyond just marking up an e-book, are there any devices that would also allow you to edit the file itself?

    Thank you. Yeah, I like to whittle down the text to the essential points as I read (this is with non-fiction). On an ipad, i open up the book in OnlyOffice to do this.

    If I markup up the book instead (highlights, underlining and so forth), what happens to all of that when you open the book up in Calibre? Does it show the markups?

      I think it depends on the eReader, but mine creates a txt file with all highlighted sections. I assume others behave similarly and store annotations outside the actual epub file.
