Huh! I think I'll respond just for the sake of adding to the conversation: otherwise I mostly just lurk in here.

I read a lot of books on my Kobo e-reader and I wanted a way to retrieve the highlights of each book (a highlight is the result of gesturing over a piece of text, locally saving it on the device). But a given sentence could flow over to the next page, or a highlight could have been poorly taken (due to the previous reason, or sausage fingers, etc.) — and so I needed to retrieve context for each highlight as well.

Since I use TiddlyWiki for my personal "second-brain", I created a simple tool (using Textualize, a terminal user interface framework for Python) that retrieves highlights, provides context and allows for live-manipulation of context to achieve the correct highlight to save; it then makes a tiddler out of it. It's neat!

Here's the github if you want to have a look. It's not really anything professional, but it has been doing the job for me.

This is really cool! I don't have a kobo - though I've been thinking of getting one of the new color ones. This gives me another reason to consider one :-).
