Highlights often make more sense when you can find them beside the book they came from. The MyBibliotheca KOReader plugin sends saved highlights and notes from the current ebook directly to your account, where they can appear on the matching book page.

A direct connection from KOReader

Install the complete mybibliotheca.koplugin folder in KOReader’s plugins directory and restart KOReader. In the plugin’s Configure connection screen, use https://mybibliotheca.org/notes and the dedicated KOReader sync credentials you created in MyBibliotheca Settings. These are separate from your MyBibliotheca sign in password.

Open the book in KOReader, choose the MyBibliotheca highlights plugin, and send that book’s highlights. The reader reports how many annotations were accepted. In MyBibliotheca, open the linked book and expand Highlights and notes to review the saved items.

Link the right book before relying on it

MyBibliotheca links an uploaded document automatically only when its title and author identify exactly one book in your library. If the document is ambiguous or does not match, its annotations stay private in your account until you choose the correct library book in Settings. Linking annotations does not create a duplicate book or change reading progress.

The plugin sends annotations to MyBibliotheca directly; it does not require Readwise. If you already use Readwise, that is a separate integration for importing highlights that are stored there.

If Readwise is where you keep highlights and notes, MyBibliotheca can bring a private copy into your book library. Connect with a Readwise personal access token, choose which annotation types to import, and review the results alongside the matching book.

Readwise remains the source of truth

The connection is one way: MyBibliotheca imports changes from Readwise and does not write highlights, notes, tags, or edits back to Readwise. Choose whether future syncs include highlighted passages, notes, or both. A successful sync can also remove an imported highlight if it has been deleted from Readwise.

MyBibliotheca encrypts the access token before storing it and does not display it again. Treat the token like a password. You can disconnect to stop future imports; disconnecting keeps the imported copies already in your MyBibliotheca account.

Link imported books carefully

Readwise records do not create library books. MyBibliotheca attempts an automatic link when exactly one existing book has the same title and author after ignoring capitalization and extra spaces. Similar titles, alternate editions, or different author spellings may need a manual match in Settings. Until you decide, an unmatched Readwise record remains private.

Once linked, highlights and notes appear under the book’s Highlights and notes section. They do not change the shelf, book details, or reading history. Imported annotation text is subject to a 100 MB account limit.

Connection and matching steps: Import Readwise highlights and notes · Edit book details

A highlighted sentence is easier to find when you remember which book it came from. Yet reading history, annotations, and notes often end up scattered across an e-reader, a note app, and a book tracker. MyBibliotheca helps bring those pieces closer by keeping book records and reading activity together. Start a free library and make your next highlight easier to revisit.

Send highlights from the tools you read with

If you use KOReader, MyBibliotheca can receive compatible highlights and notes through its dedicated integration. Configure the separate KOReader credentials, then follow the KOReader highlights setup guide. Progress syncing has its own setup instructions, so you can choose the workflow you need.

If your annotations are already in Readwise, you can import them into MyBibliotheca. The Readwise import guide explains the one-way import and how to connect the entries to books in your library.

Keep context with the passage

A quote without context may be hard to understand months later. Keeping notes tied to their book makes it easier to remember what you were reading and why a passage stood out. It also puts annotations closer to your broader reading history, rather than leaving every note in a different destination.

Build a reading archive you can return to

You do not need to migrate every note before starting. Connect one source, bring in the highlights you care about, and add new reading notes as you go. Create your MyBibliotheca account to keep books, progress, and meaningful passages in one personal reading space.
