Hey guys,

I'm still in the warm-up phase with Kobo. Back in the Kindle days I've built a primitive Flash-Card feed from my kindle dictionary lookup history:
https://github.com/ivy-rew/kindle-voca

To start with, one of my most loved features of the kindle was stored in it's sqlite db. Reading books in foreign language automatically created a history of the words that I have looked up in a dictionary ... so obviously I didn't know these words and should learn them somewhen

Now I've tried to built something the like based on my Kobo readings. As far as I see the .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite doesn't store my history lookups. All I can get from there are bookmarks:

Code:

sqlite3 KoboReader.sqlite "Select * FROM Bookmark"

I also saw that there is a '.kobo/BookReader.sqlite'. But it seem corrupt - at least I can't read it straight forwards with sqlite3. Maybe someone can tell why this doesn't work?

So finally, my real question. Is there any log on my dictionary lookups available? Or can one of the alternative readers provide that? Any hints are welcome that would help me to build flash-cards based on my reading experience.
