Yes @evernomeansno, I submitted my issue to technical support, and I heard back (it took a few days).
The support offered to convert it for me if I sent them my .obj file, but I opted to do it alone, so contact them if you prefer they do it.
Here is the summary of the steps to take, but bare in mind:
1) You need access to command line, on Mac, you could use Terminal for example.
2) You need to have Xcode installed, which you can get from the App store (free, I believe).
3) For the below path, check that your Group Containers path, and your obj file path follows this pattern, or a pattern that makes sense to you, or that you can locate on your machine
4) As I recall, I left the file in tact as .obj format before starting the below steps
After that ... here's a copy of their instructions:
Here are the steps that I take to try to rescue this info from the obj file. Just to set the right expectation, it works about 60% of the time.
Open the obj from ~/Library/Group Containers/Q25WDW7YH9.com.evernote.Evernote/Evernote/quick-note/55091285-personal-www.evernote.comfile/current-quicknote in any text editor. You’ll see a bunch of garbled text.
Convert it to a XML Plist:
Copy file to another place.
open terminal and cd into that directory
paste plutil -convert xml1 quick-note-preserved.obj
open in any editor & search for text
Copy the text and paste it into Evernote.
You may need to do a little cleaning of the text, but it should be all there
