Have tried this on a different machine and with a new vault. Same issue.

---

Tried another (inferior) plugin that does the same, (to isolate it's not my Apple Books data that's a problem) -- that works.

So I think it's some limitation exceeded within this one.

I think it's a node issue not handling my quantity? This is the error caught when trying to get the list of books:

Importing a single book > where it shows the popup where books would show, but unpopulated.

const captureLargerStackTrace = hideStackFrames(
  function captureLargerStackTrace(err) {
    const stackTraceLimitIsWritable = isErrorStackTraceLimitWritable();
    if (stackTraceLimitIsWritable) {
      userStackTraceLimit = Error.stackTraceLimit;
      Error.stackTraceLimit = Infinity;
    }
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    // Reset the limit
    if (stackTraceLimitIsWritable) Error.stackTraceLimit = userStackTraceLimit;

    return err;
  });

That said, it's how it's handled, as the plugin I was using prior still works: https://github.com/bingryan/obsidian-ibook-plugin

Do you have the bandwidth o help?

Hi. I'm a bit busy with some work stuff, but I hope to release a fix close to the end of the week.

There are also some strange bugs reported by users in the Obsidian's forum, I believe it worth fixing them as well.
