Kobo Annotation Exporter

[jacobfresco]

I've been working on an app to export the annotations from my Kobo Libra Colour to Joplin, because I use that extensively. So, I've written an app that does just that; export your annotations to Joplin. Highlights, notes, and markups too.

Highlights and notes allow for multi-select, to export multiple annotations to a single note in Joplin. Markup annotations will preview first and allow for export to a note in Joplin or to save as a file on your computer.

The app will autodetect if a Kobo is attached and show the books that have annotations. If you select a book, the annotations for that book will show and you'll be able to select and export them.

The app requires a config.json to be present, that has the Joplin Webclipper API-key, the URL and port for the WebClipper and the ID of the notebook where the annotations need to be stored. If no config.json can be found when starting the app, the app will allow for creation of one at that moment.

The stable release: 0.3.0 "Plato"

Stable Release code: GitHub


There's also a pre-release available. This release has more features, but might also be more unstable: 0.4.0 "Cicero" Pre

Using the pre-release, highlights and notes can be exported using a template (annotation_template.md) that allows you to customize how the note will look in Joplin. The file highlight_colors.json allows for customization of the colors for the highlight.

Known issues:
- Icon on the taskbar is wrong. This will likely be solved in the next release
- Existing notes in Joplin for the same book are overwritten

All issues and feature requests: GitHub

Disclaimer: I've only had my KLC to test it, but it should also work on a Libra 2. Soon, I will have a Clara BW, as well as a Libra 2 to test. If you find issues, please let me know via GitHub. If you have requests, let me know.
