Epigramm imports highlights and notes from your ereader or reading apps, keeping
them organized by book. Everything you've marked or written stays connected to
the specific book and page where you captured it.
Can I search within my notes?
Yes. Search your notes across all books or within a specific book. This makes it
easy to find that quote you remember reading, the insight you captured, or the
passage you wanted to reference later — even if you don't remember which book
it came from.
What happens to my notes if I delete a book?
Your notes stay in Epigramm even if you remove the book file. This means you
don't lose your highlights just because you archived the ebook or switched formats.
Your notes are preserved as part of your reading history.
Can I export my notes?
Yes. Export notes and highlights by book or across your entire library. Common
formats include text, markdown, and PDF. This makes it easy to reference your
notes in other tools, share quotes, or create study materials.
How do I organize large numbers of highlights?
View highlights by date, by book section, or filter by color if your ereader
supports colored highlights. You can also add tags to specific highlights to
create your own organization system (themes, character notes, favorite quotes).
Are my notes private?
Yes. All notes and highlights are private by default. You choose what to share
and when. Epigramm treats your reading annotations as personal intellectual work,
not public content.
What if I take notes in multiple apps?
Epigramm consolidates highlights from Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and other reading
apps into one unified view per book. This solves the fragmentation problem of
switching between apps or devices — all your notes end up in one place.
Can I add new notes directly in Epigramm?
Yes. While Epigramm primarily imports notes from your reading apps, you can also
add standalone notes to any book — thoughts after finishing, comparisons to other
books, or reminders for re-reading. These live alongside your imported highlights.
How do I use notes to remember what I read?
Review your highlights periodically using Epigramm's note review feature. Spaced
repetition and systematic review turn passive highlighting into active memory. Your
notes become a searchable reference library of everything you've thought important
enough to mark.
What's the difference between library search and note search?
Library search finds books by metadata (title, author, genre, tropes). Note search
finds specific passages or thoughts within your highlights and annotations. Use
library search to find books, use note search to find ideas within those books.
