Getting started

Install#

Both plugins are in Obsidian's community directory.

1. Open Settings → Community plugins and select Browse. Search for Model Hub, then select Install and Enable.
2. Add a provider in Settings → Model Hub.
3. Browse again, search for Library Hub, and select Install and Enable.

Connect to Calibre#

1. In Calibre, select Connect/share → Start Content server.
2. In Obsidian, open Settings → Library Hub → Library.
3. Under Connections, Calibre should show as reachable. If not, select Calibre, then Connect…, check the Content Server address (by default http://localhost:8080) and select Test.

More detail: Connect to Calibre.

Make your book notes#

1. On the Library tab, under Sync, select Sync…. Or run Sync: Notes from your providers from the Library panel.
2. Read what it would do: which notes it would create, which notes you already have it would match, and any books it can't place with certainty.
3. Confirm. Your notes are written to Books/Library.

No model is used and nothing is written to Calibre.

Add covers#

On the Notes page, under Covers, select Find covers…. Each book note without a cover gets one.
