This tool extracts the highlights and the annotations from OnyxBoox Reading Notes txt files, and converts them to linked zettelkasten literature and permanent notes
MIT License
With this plugin, you can extract your highlights and annotations taken in your Onyx Boox eink device, and convert them to classic Zettelkasten notes.
Reference Note
with its metadata (title and author)Literature Note
linked to the Reference note and having metainfo (creation time, page number, section title, book title) stored in the frontmatter.Permanent Note
linked to the Literature note and the Reference note as well.The main benefit is that you can write your thoughts directly into the book what you currently read, and the plugin will integrate them into your Second Brain.
The plugin generated the different notes as follows:

Authors: <author>
---
_Source_: <Book title>
_Section_: <Section's title>
_Page Number_: <Page number>
_Time_: <highlight creation time>
---
> <the highlighted text>
---
_Reference Note_: <link_to_the_reference_note>
---
---
tags:
- <book_title_with_underscores_instead_of_spaces>
---
<your annotation>
---
_Literature Note_: <link_to_your_literature_note>
_Reference Note_: <link_to_your_reference_note>

As Onyx Boox provides Android-based eink devices, Obsidian can be installed directly onto them via Google Play. Then, after you set your vault, your sync optionally, and installed and enabled this plugin, the process would be as follows:
If you don't want to install Obsidian onto your Onyx Boox device, you can send the annotation export to yourself via mail, download it to your local machine, change it's extension and put into your Obsidian vault there.
If you have an idea on how to improve the plugin or face any problems, feel free to raise an issue, or even contribute! If this plugin makes your like easier, pleaes consider giving a star here on github, or supporting me via .
