Does anyone know of a plugin that lets you add notes to books in Calibre?

I read quite a lot of books (actual books) and I'm quite used to add little side notes on small sticky notes. Since some books aren't shipped to my location I decided to buy the e-books and use Calibre to read them. Only thing I missed was a way to add notes. I've been using Mendeley for quite some time now, so I know it's possible to add notes but I'm using Mendeley for my work and I don't want to clutter it with e-books. Is there anyone who can help me?

  • I read somewhere that there is a recipie reader program that also allows you to make notes. The catch is that apparently you need to be pretty versatile with html markup – Charles Green Dec 29 '14 at 21:09
  • Yeah, I saw that....although I'm quite adapt with html I don't really want to go and dive into html codes every time I want to add a side note. Thanks though. – Akisame Dec 30 '14 at 01:17
  • I'm not so adept, so I understand :) – Charles Green Dec 30 '14 at 01:49

There is an answer but you'll have to decide whether making your own annotations is more imporpant than GUI consistency: https://okular.kde.org/ (Obviously a KDE program, so it will install lots of dependency libraries and look ugly in a gnome environment, but it does what you need...)

Actually making your own annotations in Calibre?

No-go...

    yeah, I know okular from when I used KDE. I just thought that since calibre can import notes made with other programs I could also add notes.....Helaas pindakaas. – Akisame Dec 30 '14 at 01:20
