EPUB Reader and Highlighter

Read EPUB books directly inside Obsidian, mark them up with color-coded highlights and notes, and export everything to Markdown.

Features

  • In-app EPUB reader — open any .epub file in your vault and read it without leaving Obsidian.
  • Scroll or paginated mode — switch between continuous scrolling and page-by-page reading; turn pages with the on-screen buttons or the ← / → arrow keys.
  • Color-coded highlights — select text and pick from several highlight colors. Highlights are saved per book and restored when you reopen it.
  • Notes on highlights — attach a comment to any highlight.
  • Highlights panel — view every highlight in the current book with its page number, text, and note; jump back to the original location, edit notes, or delete.
  • Undo — Cmd/Ctrl+Z reverses the last highlight or deletion.
  • Reading themes — built-in background colors plus a custom color picker, adjustable font and font size; link colors adapt to the background for readability.
  • Markdown export — export all highlights of a book (page, text, note) to a Markdown note via the command palette.
