Hady, Is this a structural problem or is it something you expect to be solved easily? This plugin looks really great, but I only dispose of Android devices and I would like to know if there is any hope if I wait or if I have to find another solution for highlights export/import.

I run Obsidian on 2 devices with Android 10

This plugin has a strong dependency on electron (the framework that Obsidian desktop uses) to enable the importing of highlights from Amazon cloud.

That said... this hard dependency might not be required if you are importing from your Kindle's My Clippings file. It is possible to allow the plugin to be used on any device with Amazon cloud disabled.

@johnlunney @Crownburger @sterren-kijker out of curiosity, what method of highlight syncing would you be using?

Seconded for android support!

@hadynz I actually only want the My Clippings file method.

I guess you could block the other mode with a glorified if-block: https://marcus.se.net/obsidian-plugin-docs/testing/mobile-devices#platform-specific-features and thus allow a basic mobile functionality.

And then remove the isDesktopOnly from manifest.json
