Obsidian Kobo Highlight Importer

This plugin aims to make highlight import from Kobo devices easier.

At the time of writing, it has only been tested with a Kobo Libra 2 with few book highlights.

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
