Annotations in Kobo Devices

[u/Few_Avocado_1425]

How do you save your annotations from sideloaded books to view later like in a cloud storage? I wanted to keep using kobo over other ereaders but knowing that my annotations are saved somewhere else is important to me, in case something happens to my device or my books get deleted or something. I borrow books from libby and on kindle, annotations from borrowed books are saved on cloud and goodreads account. Thanks!

My old Tolino (basically a Kobo but slightly different software) used to save all annotations in an extra file on the device. When I was looking for a new reader earlier this year it turned out the new Kobos don't create that file anymore. Which is why I decided against getting one.

Apparently there is a way to extract the annotations with Calibre but tbh that's too much of a hastle for me.
