kobo2Calibre

Embed highlights from Kobo device in Calibre book. Tested on the books converted using calibre-kobo-driver. Books converted using a different tool will most probably not work.

The plugin will:

  • import your highlights from the Kobo device DB
  • try to match the highlights with books from your Calibre library
  • insert highlights into the Calibre database so that you can further edit them using a fantastic Calibre book viewer

Installation as Calibre plugin

Check the releases section, and download the latest Kobo2Calibre.zip. Install it as any other Calibre plugin. Make sure to add the plugin to toolbar when a device is connected.

Installation for CLI usage

You can use poetry install to install all the dependencies:

poetry update && poetry install

Usage of CLI

Warning: this script is in the alpha stage; please back up your Calibre library before using it!

Example:

poetry run python kobo2calibre.py {PATH_TO_KOBO_DEVICE} {PATH_TO_CALIBRE_LIBRARY}

For the complete list of arguments run:

poetry run python kobo2calibre.py --help
