Maybe this can help GitHub - futurepress/epub.js: Enhanced eBooks in the browser.

I am looking forward for this feature for a long time

Hoping for that feature too :pray:

For your interest, Calibre (the most complete ebook manager) let you copy epub annotations as Markdown, that include a URI with the scheme calibre://. So when you click that link in Logseq, Calibre opens the target ebook at the right page.

I also wish that direct support for epub , azw is a BIG bonus within Logseq.
Given that the current support for pdf is really amazing, I have high hopes that epub formats will eventually be included without having to convert to pdf ,etc.

26

could you point me to where I can find out how do that? Couldn’t find the scheme of the annotation in the Calibre help document The calibre:// URL scheme — calibre 6.11.0 documentation

Sorry the images are in Italian, the translation is something like:

Right Click on a book > Read > Browse annotations > Export all selected > Markdown

Notice that you can select multiple books before the right click and from the dialog export only annotations from the selected books.

Hypothes.is have also done some work to anchor annotations on top of epub.js

Can you expand more on how you mean here

“The only thing remaining is to be able to easily pull up the location if you have the book in Calibre”

Do you mean the location of the location of a quite within a book when it is made in Calibre?

With these plugins the experience of importing, reading and annotating epubs, etc… within logseq is already quite frictionless imo. Tools like Calibre were refined for so long for managing and reading ebooks. I think there is just no need for native epub support in Logseq, it would just be redundant.

For those interested in EPUB reading and annotation tracking in Logseq with Calibre integration, I’ve made several updates to the plugins logseq-calibre-metadata and logseq-calibre-annotation:

  • Merged Calibre Metadata: All functions from Calibre Metadata are now integrated into Calibre Annotation, with Calibre Metadata officially deprecated.
  • User Login & Profiles: We can now set username and password in Calibre and still compatible with the plugin, allowing for different profiles and syncing across devices on LAN/WAN.
  • Improved UI & Documentation: The UI was improved, and the documentation updated with clearer instructions.
