How to use

Once installed, the steps to import your highlights directly into the vault are:

1. Connect your Kobo device to PC using a proper USB cable
2. Check if it has mounted automatically, or mount it manually (e.g. open the root folder of your Kobo using a file manager)
3. Open the import window using the plugin button
4. 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 )
5. Extract

{{highlights}}

Obsidian Callouts

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.
