e.g.: autogenerated reference notes, complete with any annotations you make on your Kindle/Kobo/etc e-reader. The way Calibre CAN and (for me) DOES integrate with one’s PKM (Obsidian or otherwise) is that as a by-product of managing your ebooks (etc) AND your in-situ (on ebook reader) annotations, you can create context in Obsidian. Because of Amazon Kindle’s stranglehold on the market, very few standards are in place so no one can/does build something reliable AND pleasant to use (too much investment for too much risk). So, it depends on your e-reading setup (and this is what the entire ebook ecosystem suffers from…). I don’t like zotero or mendeley, and I find the caliber very intuitive and I can easily access everything. I know that there is an integration between zotero and obsidian, but I haven’t explored it yet. Then after all correct edition on the metadatas, from the folder of the caliber, go up to the cloud to create the backup. Thus, the zotero will remain only for the information of citations and bibliographies. Use the zotero only as a reference manager, always creating from the projects and without the need to add the book / article physically, as these will already be organized by caliber. Maybe create a folder that will serve as a step prior to the caliber, so that I always know which new books I will need to add to the caliber to edit the metadata and organize them there. This is because, as I understand it, the caliber creates a copy of the files in its own folder for storing the files, so they would be saved and I can access the computer easily and quickly if I need to.
Transpose all my digital books from the cloud to the coomputer and edit their metadata by caliber, as well as organize to always access the library through it, and no longer through the files themselves.
I am thinking of the following way in this testing phase: Reading on the pc is always an exception because of my vision issues. Nowadays I have been studying the caliber a little more so that it is the place where I manage my library, since I usually do not read by computer, only on paper or when necessary in kindle. At first I had sought this solution also with Mendeley or Zotero, but I understood the proposals of each program. I downloaded the calibre recently in order to use it as a manager for my digital library.
