Save quotes n lines

want to save references to quotes, from an epub.
great UX, remembers date, user, page, line and allows me to write comments.

links

• readwise links with your Amazon account and organizes your Kindle highlights

Not great solutions:

• Most only support Kindle :(
• complex opensource kindle->notion repo
• https://saveread.io/ manually email clippings.txt

Physical media doesn’t support backlinks

• we can write in our books, this works for personal use only
• we can have a 1 directional link from Obsidian, quoting the book.
  This has been used for years in papers.

https://www.zotero.org/ let’s you highlight notes in pdf, and can be linked to Obsidian with a plugin
mainly a reference manager.

Backlinks¶

• 1 directional annotations
  • similar to save quotes n lines, we reference external data that can’t reference back. (Sometimes even physical media like books)
