Obsidian plugins with #reading#

The Weread Plugin plugin helps users sync book-related data from the WeChat Reading platform to their Obsidian vault. It imports metadata such as book covers, authors, and publication details, along with highlighted text, notes, and book reviews. The plugin allows users to customize note templates and file naming conventions while providing options to sync daily reading updates to their daily notes. It supports mobile devices and offers long-term login via QR code authentication. Additionally, users can categorize notes, track reading status, and maintain annotations efficiently within Obsidian.

The WuCai highlights Official plugin allows users to automatically sync their digital highlights from the WuCai platform to their Obsidian vault. This integration helps users consolidate their reading data in one place, making it easier to review and manage highlights from various sources. The plugin supports continuous automatic synchronization, ensuring that highlights stay up-to-date within Obsidian.

The Bookshelf plugin provides a centralized and visual way to manage your reading activity within Obsidian. It gathers metadata from your book notes, such as covers, authors, and ratings, and displays them in a personal library view. It also tracks reading progress through entries made in book notes or daily notes, offering a chronological view of your reading journey. Users can analyze their habits with statistics and charts, customize metadata fields to suit their note-taking style, and define how progress is recorded through flexible pattern-based parsing.

The Hardcover plugin syncs your Hardcover reading library into your vault, creating one note per book with comprehensive metadata in frontmatter. It performs incremental updates, only syncing books that changed since the last sync. Each note includes configurable fields like title, authors, rating, status, quotes from your reading journal, genres and more. You can format authors, series, genres and publishers as wikilinks for interconnected notes. The plugin supports directory organization by author and/or series with customizable folder structures. A delimiter system separates plugi generated content from your personal notes, preserving your additions during syncs.

The FleurEPUB plugin adds an EPUB reader inside the vault with adjustable layout, typography and theme controls. It supports scrolled or paginated reading, single or double column views, tap zones, wheel paging, a bookshelf with reading progress, a table of contents and full text search. Annotation tools include six highlight colours, straight and squiggly underlines, inline comment cards and searchable sidebar management backed by CFI anchors so positions stay stable across sessions. The plugin can also translate selected text or paragraphs, including foreign languages to modern Chinese and classical Chinese to vernacular Chinese, with viewport first scheduling and per book caching. It exports annotations to Markdown notes and remembers the exact reading position when a book is reopened.

The Remember Scrollposition plugin keeps track of where you stopped reading in each note and automatically returns you to that exact spot when you reopen it. By default, it restores your position immediately upon opening a note, though you can configure it to restore only when you manually trigger a command or ribbon icon instead. This solves the annoyance of always starting at the top of long documents.

The Air Quotes plugin streamlines the process of capturing direct quotes from books and inserting them into Obsidian notes. By using a Markdown version of the source text, the plugin allows users to quickly locate and insert excerpts without disrupting their workflow. Users can link their notes to a source text or import ePub files directly into Obsidian. The plugin is optimized for both desktop and mobile use, providing a seamless experience for readers who want to integrate quotes into their notes efficiently.

The Book Clipper plugin helps you pull structured book details from a few supported Persian book platforms and drop them straight into your notes. It captures the title, author, page count and cover image and maps them to variables that you can embed in your own templates. Once set up, you pass a book link and the plugin generates a new note using your chosen layout, making it easy to maintain a consistent format across your library.

The Focus and Highlight plugin enhances the reading experience in Obsidian by allowing users to focus on specific headings, paragraphs, or their related content in reading mode. Users can click on a heading or paragraph to highlight its scope while dimming the surrounding content, offering a cleaner and more concentrated view. The plugin provides customizable settings, such as focus scope, sensitivity, and clear methods, to adapt to different preferences. It also supports multi-pane functionality, enabling independent focus areas in each pane. For added customization, the plugin integrates with the Style Settings plugin to adjust visual properties like dim opacity and animation speed.

The yh-InkLight plugin provides a shared reading and annotation system for Markdown, PDF and EPUB files. It highlights text in Live Preview and Reading View, attaches comments and returns to the source location. PDF highlights appear as overlays with notes and page navigation, while the bundled foliate-js engine supports EPUB pagination, scrolling, search and display controls. A unified sidebar filters annotations by colour, type and tag, edits comments and exports Markdown summaries with return links. The reading library tracks progress and recent reading, with search, status filters and cover browsing. Generated reading notes synchronise only a marked managed section, leaving handwritten content untouched. Annotations and progress remain separate from source documents in sidecar JSON files and EPUB layout preferences can vary by device.

The Bible Sidecar plugin provides a dedicated Bible reading panel within Obsidian, allowing users to access and reference scripture seamlessly while taking notes. Users can browse through books, chapters, and verses, copying selected text directly into their notes with a single click. The plugin supports multiple Bible versions, enabling customization based on preference.

The Remaining Reading Time plugin displays the estimated time left to finish reading a note along with real-time progress in the status bar. It extends the idea of the original Reading Time plugin but shifts focus from writing efficiency to reading experience. The plugin continuously calculates how much of a note has been read and how long it will take to complete, making it useful for reading long articles, study materials, or book excerpts within the app.

The Weread Vault plugin brings WeChat Read books, highlights, thoughts and reviews into one long lived reading vault, then keeps personal notes separate so a fresh sync does not wipe them out. It can import pasted book lists, create entries for paper books, open note creation from the shelf or a book card and let you pick books by title, author or bookId. Imported Markdown, TXT and DOCX notes stay in the same workflow, with support for tables, images and follow up editing. Book detail views also combine synced reading material with local notes. This makes the plugin useful for readers who treat highlights, commentary and reading notes as one connected knowledge base.

The Third Mind Reader plugin adds an EPUB and PDF reader that opens books as tabs and writes every highlight into a companion Markdown note in your vault. It keeps reading, annotation and note linking in one flow with chapter navigation, in book search, progress tracking, bookmarks and per book position memory. Selected text opens the Gloss toolbar, which can save plain highlights or, when you configure a provider, run Explain, Examine and chat style AI actions beside the passage. Companion notes store quotes, notes and full AI exchanges as normal vault files with links back to the source. PDFs use the same toolbar through the built in viewer, while deferred AI lets mobile reading hand off local inference to desktop.

The HackerNews plugin allows users to access and interact with content from Hacker News within Obsidian. It provides the ability to browse top stories, view discussions, and save articles directly into notes for further reference.
