Epub Importer

Epub Importer

中文文档

A plugin that converts EPUB files into markdown notes for your Obsidian vault. This allows you to read, annotate and link your ebooks directly within Obsidian.

For detailed information, check out the Wiki or explore our Example Vault.

Getting Started

There are two ways to import EPUB files:

1. Run the command Epub Importer: Import epub to your vault and provide the absolute path to your EPUB file.

2. Configure libraries paths in settings - when you run the import command, all EPUB files from these paths will be available for selection.

Once imported, the EPUB will be converted into a folder containing markdown notes, allowing you to:

• Read the book directly in Obsidian
• Add annotations and highlights
• Create links between notes
• Organize your reading materials
