Hello,

I have my collection of ebooks (mostly epubs) in Calibre but also an extensive collection of PDFs that I would like to add to my Calibre library. I do a lot of annotations on the PDFs with my ebook reader and I like to keep the original files untouched. I simply rename the file after reading it and then send it back to my PC via my cloud drive app. It's pretty straightforward, but I would prefer to have my PDFs catalogued in Calibre, among other things, to avoid buying books twice.

I have read a couple of threads (here and here) with tips on how to import annotated pdfs back to Calibre, but they both sound time consuming.

In the absence of an automated solution, perhaps other users have better ways of handling this process and would like to share them?

Thanks!
