How to convert a Calibre entry into Obsidian notes?

retval · 10-01-2024, 06:13 PM

Greetings, I use Calibre as my library organizer, as I am into research.
I wanted to query how to take a Calibre entry and transform it into an obsidian note. For example, if I have a book called “Metaphysics” by “Aristotle” and it has comments, tags, isbn, etc., I would like to have it converted into a note called “Metaphysics - Aristotle” and have the rest of the metadata integrated into the note.
The same could be done with a set of books and have each entry become a separate note.
Thanks for your help.

There's a "Highlights to Obsidian" optional plugjn that could perhaps be extended to include metadata… if it doesn't already.

Another user asked the developer of Highlights to Obsidian the same thing. He suggested him to experiment by modifying the add-on at the code level, but that is too complex for me.
