Description

Category: 3rd Party Integrations

The Kobo Highlights Importer plugin simplifies the process of importing highlights from Kobo e-readers into Obsidian. By connecting your Kobo device to your computer, users can locate the KoboReader.sqlite file within the hidden .kobo folder and extract their highlights directly into their Obsidian vault. This plugin is particularly useful for readers who want to organize and integrate their highlighted passages into their note-taking workflows. It supports manual file selection and provides an intuitive import interface to streamline the process.

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
