Project 2: obsidian-kindle-export

An Obsidian-plugin which sends your notes to your Kindle/PocketBook as .epub file

Work paperless

GitHub manifest version (path)

Introduction

I was using Calibre and Pandoc-Export plugin, but I was wondering about a short way to export your .md files in one command and add all embedded files. So you dont have to use a .pdf file. The plugin creates a Kindle: Export command, which sends all embedded images and .md files to a PHP backend (Host your own private PHP Backend!) which converts it to a .epub file and sends it via email to your Kindle/PocketBook. If you are not hosting on your own, you will send private data to my server. Please be aware of this. I won't save or read your data!

New open Backend:

https://md2epub.staneks.de/

To Do's:

  • Export images
  • Export embedded .md files
  • Export embedded .mp3 files (Pocketbook)
  • Obsidian cover for the books --> Due to the .epub format, the cover will not appear on the bookshelf
  • Table of contents
  • <div style="page-break-after: always;"></div> is working
  • %%Excludes%% are invisible
  • External links
  • External embedded images
  • Exclude metadata
  • Become a Communityplugin 🎉
  • Create workaround for other embedded files
  • Add ==highlighting==
  • .epub export
  • Footnotes
  • Foldercover or filecover
  • .html export (Archive)
  • .pdf export (would be nice for IOS & Android)

Extra features (no kindle data needed)

  • .md export (mergedown)
    • Audio export
    • Video export
    • define own exportpath

Just try it!

For embedding local images, please use the following format: ![[image.jpg]]

Fill in your data for your Kindle/PocketBook and your mailadress. Read your notes on your Kindle/PocketBook.

Mergedown: Combine all your embedded images and .md files in one .md file.

If you have problems with the plugin, please let me know.
