Highlight word(s)

Open RrOoSsSsOo opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

A feature to highlight word(s) in Books (possibly with different colors), in addition to search into Dictionary and into Wikipedia.

Maybe not easy with webview but it is one of most important features for some users...

Interesting, these are features I would never use in webview. But I guess I do use lookups and highlights on my Ereader device.

Closing this since it’s not in scope, sorry!

I'm just saying that in my opinion, to completely replace platforms like Amazon or Kobo, the annotation and highlighting function is essential for an eBook reader...

@adityachandelgit I would double down on @RrOoSsSsOo statement here. Highlights and Notes are the hardest to streamlined, but to me and many others the cornerstone of multimodal e-book reading. flawless bi-directionnal highlight and note sync are the missing feature for many. For kobo you might want to have a look at https://github.com/degiz/kobo2calibre Since you integrated koreader, some sync between koreader metadata could also be much appreciated.
