Why won't a certain book import? #49

Closed wealthychef1 closed 1 year ago

wealthychef1 commented 1 year ago

Hello, I was able to import four books to my Obsidian vault, lovely. Canceling Readwise in 4... 3... 2... However on the fifth book, it just seemed to silently fail. There are many highlights in the book, and it's the same format as the others, which is epub, but it just doesn't show up in the target folder. How can I troubleshoot this please?
Thanks for any guidance

Can you search for your book through export-single-book-by-search

bingryan commented 1 year ago

delelte ibook dir, and try again.

you can open view-> Toggle Developer Tools, Check to see if there are five records like:

$ echo "
        SELECT 
            DISTINCT ZASSETID
        FROM ZBKLIBRARYASSET
    " | sqlite3  xxxxxxx

Yes and that is in fact how I'm doing this... is there a bulk import?

delelte ibook dir, and try again.

I did this and it had no apparent effect.

There are not those records, but there is this when I try to import the book. It is indeed a lengthy book, is it hitting a word/character limit?

default 200KB, For your issue, I should increase the buffer :)

Confirmed fixed! Thank you. I'll check into the mass export soon.
I have an existing spreadsheet which I exported to CSV.
I want to combine my notes with the ibooks import somehow... that's my next project.
Thanks!
