Connecting Zotero to koreader
*planted: 16/10/2022last tended: 16/10/2022
I've been reading more academic papers of late in addition to online essays. And storing them in Zotero rather than Wallabag (where I save the online essays). Now I want to read them on my kobo. So trying to hook up Zotero in a similar-ish way to how Wallabag is hooked up.
Came across this: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/90686/koreader
Which references this: https://github.com/stelzch/zotero.koplugin/
Following the instructions there:
- Connected my kobo to laptop and created a
Zotero
folder in its root. - Copied
storage
andzotero.sqlite
from my local Zotero folder to the folder on the Kobo. - Make a folder on kobo:
mkdir .adds/koreader/plugins/zotero.koplugin
- Download the files from https://github.com/stelzch/zotero.koplugin/ (I did it as a zip file) and copy them to the folder on the kobo.
- Eject the kobo, let koreader restart.
- Go to
Search > Zotero > Settings
and set the folder to the Zotero folder we copied the storage and sqlite to. - Go to
Search > Zotero > Browse database
. - Browse your PDFs!
