Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

An easy way to store highlights/notes on e-books makes it easier to export thoughts. What format of ebook would be best suited, I'm not sure, but hope epub is one of them.

Why would this be helpful?

Being able to put highlights and notes for specific references allows a user to build up a knowledge base as well as export these to a different productivity/knowledge base app such as Obsidian/Logseq etc.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Select text in e-book, right click → Highlight/Take Note → If highlight, just highlight and save snippet to a separate file with location
If Note selected, open up a text box for note and save it alongside highlight.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.15.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
