The Booksidian plugin integrates Goodreads data into Obsidian, enabling users to create customized book notes. It utilizes the Goodreads RSS feed to extract details like title, author, subtitle, series, and other metadata to populate both the body and frontmatter of notes. Users can sync specific shelves from Goodreads, and the plugin provides options to automatically update or overwrite existing notes. Booksidian is highly customizable, allowing for tailored note organization and presentation. It can also link back to Goodreads for quick reference and pairs well with plugins like Dataview for creating visually appealing book libraries.

The ibook plugin enables users to seamlessly export highlights and annotations from Mac iBooks into their Obsidian vault. It supports exporting entire collections or individual books by searching via title or author. Additionally, users can enrich their notes by fetching book details from Goodreads and customize the exported content using user-defined templates powered by Handlebars. The plugin simplifies integration with iBooks, helping users consolidate their reading notes and annotations into their Obsidian workspace for better organization and accessibility.
