Kindle Transformation for Obsidian 📖✨

Elegantly transform your Kindle exported HTML notes into beautifully formatted Obsidian markdown files.

This plugin is designed with a focus on aesthetics, smooth user experience (UI/UX), and highly customizable note formatting.

✨ Key Features

• Drag & Drop Interface: A premium, macOS-inspired UI. Simply click or drag your Kindle .html file into the modal to instantly generate your notes.
• Custom Callout Mapping: Take full control of your highlights! Map default Kindle colors (Yellow, Aqua, Pink, Orange, Blue, Green) to any Obsidian Callout type you prefer (e.g., quote, important, question, attention, success).
• Nested Blockquotes: Highlights are automatically formatted as nested blockquotes (> > ) to create a beautiful visual hierarchy, distinguishing the book's text from your personal notes.
• Smart Formatting: Automatically cleans up excessive line breaks and structurally organizes your notes by chapters.
• Auto-Routing: Specify a default folder for your imported notes. If the folder doesn't exist, the plugin will automatically create it for you.

🚀 How to Use

1. Export your notes from the Kindle app (iOS/Android) to your email and download the .html file.
2. Open Obsidian and click the Book (📖) icon in the left ribbon (or use the Command Palette: Run Kindle Transformation).
3. Drag and drop your .html file into the upload box.
4. Click Start Transformation. Your perfectly formatted Markdown note is ready!

⚙️ Settings

Go to Settings -> Kindle Transformation to configure:

• Save Folder: Define where your new notes should be saved (e.g., Reading/Kindle). Leave it blank to save in the root vault.
• Callout Color Mapping: Type in your preferred Obsidian callout name for each Kindle highlight color.
