Not the person you were replying to, but I've been after something like this for quite awhile too.

I use Logseq as my external brain for everything else, but am having a lot of trouble finding a good way to get my highlights and annotations from epubs into it. It has a great cloze feature with flashcards for reviewing things. It can also do highlights and notes from PDFs natively, which is awesome, but I'm a voracious epub reader on my Onyx Boox Poke 2 Color.

KOReader works great on it, but I really need something that would export my notes in md. I don't need it to do so on a daily basis. It'd be fine for it to be at the end of reading the book. But if it COULD export the notes on a daily basis with a block reference to the book title, that'd be even better.

Hey, Logseq looks really cool. I really love that there are so many options nowadays for knowledge management.

It's interesting to hear from more people that their onyx device works great, I've really struggled with making mine a part of my workflow. Also, I had no idea they now had color options. That's kinda cool!

Re the export to MD. I don't see that as a problem, the question really is about file formatting.

1. Do you have an example md file that's formatted in a way that would work for importing to logseq?

2. Export on a daily basis - would this go via api to somewhere? Or manually send you a download file on a daily basis? What's the idea here?
