As a light Calibre user:

- Calibre doesn't have a reader app as far as I can tell on android or iphone.

- KOReader I hear is excellent and could point to Calibre, but again, I don't think it handles per user highlights and annotations as easily.

Mostly I'm looking for a reasonably straight forward workflow to import highlights into logseq/obsidian that doesn't need a user to install or run a script manually, or connect a usb cable. That kind of self-hosting is useful.

Fair enough - I don't do highlights; usually I only import books into marvin (iOS reader app), so never encountered this use case.
I have a lot of love and respect for calibre.

Since I’ve started playing around with logseq/obsidian for one point of note taking the value of having your notes and annotations from books and YouTube videos in one place is too close to making all that reading more useful and introduce it into practice :)
