Make a highlight in the Binge Reader-delivered Kobo book and run Kobo Sync. Find it in Binge Reader’s annotations. For the reverse direction, enable Sync Binge Reader highlights to Kobo, create a web highlight, and sync the Kobo again.
Import from Kobo
Kobo highlights on synced books are accepted during device sync. After highlighting, leave the book and run Sync. Filter the annotation hub by book or source instead of searching the whole library manually.
Enable the return trip
In Settings → Kobo, enable the option to send Binge Reader highlights to Kobo. The destination must be the generated KEPUB; a regular or manually copied EPUB may not provide the precise Kobo position needed.
Verify edits and deletes carefully
Create one disposable test highlight before relying on the workflow. Check the passage, note, color or style, then edit or delete it and sync again. Export valuable notes before replacing a book file.
The details, at a glance.
| Consider | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Kobo import | Available for synced books |
| Web → Kobo | Enable the outbound highlight setting |
| Required copy | Binge Reader-delivered KEPUB |
| Safety | Export valuable notes before file changes |
A few things worth asking.
Why do Kobo highlights arrive but web highlights do not?
Enable outbound highlight sync and confirm the Kobo is using the delivered KEPUB rather than a regular or manually copied EPUB.
Will highlights survive replacing the ebook file?
A changed file can invalidate text positions. Export important annotations before replacing or reconverting a book.
