This plugin aims to make highlight import from Kobo devices easier.
Once installed, the steps to import your highlights directly into the vault are:
- Connect your Kobo device to PC using a proper USB cable
- Check if it has mounted automatically, or mount it manually (e.g. open the root folder of your Kobo using a file manager)
- Open the import window using the plugin button
- Locate KoboReader.sqlite in the .kobo folder ( this folder is hidden, so if you don't see it you should enable hidden files view from system configs )
- Extract
The default template is:
{{highlights}}
---
tags:
- books
---
{{highlights}}
Tag | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
highlights | Will get replaced with the extracted highlights. | {{highlights}} |
Kobo Highlight Importer uses Obsidian callouts for the highlights and annotations imported; Which can be configured individually. Turning this toggle off will fallback to the standard markdown block quotes for highlights only.
Check the documentation to get a list of all available callouts that obsidian offers.
