Convert epub to markdown and migrate to Obsidian
Run pandoc bookname.epub -o bookname.md --extract-media=images
This will create the file and an image folder. Place the image folder in your Obsidian attachments folder. Also, place the markdown file in your Obsidian vault and Obsidian will see all of the image references.
Then, you can run Obsidian’s Text Extractor to pull the text from the image to your clipboard.
