Kindle to Markdown

Use this skill to convert Kindle HTML notebook exports to Obsidian Markdown format.

Setup (First Time Only)

Before using, configure the output directory by editing references/config.md.

Read references/config.md to get the output_dir value. If the value is still "CHANGE_TO_YOUR_OBSIDIAN_BOOKS_PATH", remind the user to configure it first.

Input

The user will provide an HTML file path, for example:

• /kindle2md "下载/动物农场.html"
• /kindle2md "C:/Users/Downloads/动物农场 (Z-Library) - 笔记本.html"

Extract the book title from the HTML filename:

• Remove path and extension
• Remove metadata like "[英]作者", "(Z-Library)", " - 笔记本"

Output

Output directory: Read from references/config.md → output_dir

Output filename: {书名}.md

Example: for input file 动物农场 ([英]乔治·奥威尔) (Z-Library) - 笔记本.html, output should be 动物农场.md

If file already exists, overwrite it.

Runtime

Run the conversion script from the scripts folder:

python "<skill_path>/scripts/kindle_notes_to_md.py" --override -o "<output_dir>/<书名>.md" "<用户提供的HTML路径>"

Where:

• <skill_path> is the path to this skill folder
• <output_dir> is read from references/config.md

Success

Report to the user:

• "转换完成！文件已保存到: {output_path}"

Errors

If the HTML file doesn't exist or is invalid, report the error to the user clearly.
