I shared how to Export your Kindle notes and highlights onto an Evernote card. Some of you use iBooks and may want to do something similar. Here are the two methods to get your notes and highlights from iBooks into Evernote.

Method 1: Exporting iBooks Notes to Evernote if you have a Mac.

Right now, the simplest way to pull from iBooks into Evernote is to use the Mac app called “Digested.” When you plug in your iBook device, it helps pull the data into Evernote. (See http://www.cultofmac.com/222010/digested-sucks-notes-and-highlights-from-ibooks-and-spits-them-out-in-evernote-or-pdf/)

Method 2: Export iBooks notes by mailing the notes to yourself or to Evernote from inside your iBook App

Step 1 – Inside iBooks, you can click on a book.

Step 2 – Click on the book you want to get the highlights from.

Figure A: You have to access the notes by clicking the menu button in the top left corner (beside library). Then, you can access notes and do things with them.

Step 3: Click the menu button next to Library at the top (See Figure A)

Figure B: Before you can do anything with the notes, you have to view the notes in iBooks.

Step 4: Click on “Notes” (Figure B)

Figure C. You have to choose to Edit the notes so that you can select what you want to send.

Step 5: Click on the arrow at the top right corner and click “Edit notes.” (Figure C)

Figure D: You can select all of the notes in iBooks. This means that you’ll probably want to do this when you FINISH reading a book, otherwise you have to click the check by each highlight or note individually on the right.

Step 6: Click Select all (top left corner) (Figure D)

Figure E This is how you send notes to mail.

Step 7: Click Share (next to Select all/ Select None) and then Choose Mail (Figure E)

Figure F – This shot shows the note in my email. I’ve addressed it to my Evernote email address that I got from inside Evernote so that I can send it directly to Evernote.
Note that you can also copy and paste out of this note if you wanted to move the notes to Pages or such.

Step 8: Choose Mail and send the email to Evernote or to yourself. (Figure F)

Figure G shows the mailed in note from iBooks. It has very limited formatting but will give you the notes you sent via email.

Step 9: Go into Evernote and Sync and your card will appear (usually it goes to the Inbox unless you’ve set it up differently) (Figure G)
