Right now I'm just trying to sync the annotations from two devices (kobo libra2 and pw 5) to calibre, not sure if they could overwrite each other or cause issues. Calibre doesn't seem to see any annotations, though obsidian sees and imports them from the kobo.

Using Calibre 6 on linux. I'm transitioning to a linux computer from windows (learning curve here). Already exported my calibre library to linux.

I'd like to back up my annotations in calibre and also export annotations and notes to obsidian for my notes. Both ereaders have sideloaded books.

On calibre I've tried "browse annotations" and it sees no annotations on any device. I've tried installing the annotations plugin and it sees no annotations. There are annotations on both devices, and there are old annotations that were imported into calibre way back when (it's been a while since I read anything), I can see them on the sidebar thing that shows the book cover, title, other info, the annotations are listed below all that. I don't recall how it was done, it was on an old machine I no longer use. I had an old kindle that is no longer in use.

I've also tried the obsidian plugin for calibre and it doesn't seem to find any annotations either!

However there is a kobo highlights plugin directly in obsidian and if you hook up your kobo by usb it can import directly into obsidian. There doesn't seem to be one for kindle though, so I'm not sure how to get the kindle or the calibre annotations into obsidian yet. Right now I'm guessing I'd have to do it by way of calibre so kindle -> calibre -> obsidian, but right now just trying to get things working in calibre first.
