Summary

KoNotes supports exporting to Markdown, JSON, HTML, CSV, and plain text. An EPUB export would let users read their annotations as an e-book on any reader — a natural fit for a tool built around reading.

Requirements

  • Create services/export_epub.py
  • Generate a valid EPUB 3 file with one chapter per book
  • Include highlights, notes, and bookmarks grouped by chapter
  • Add book metadata (title, author) to EPUB metadata fields
  • Register in CLI (konotes export <file> -f epub)
  • Add tests in tests/test_export_epub.py

Considerations

  • Use a lightweight EPUB library (e.g., ebooklib) or generate the ZIP/XML structure directly to minimize dependencies
  • Could be an optional dependency like pip install '.[epub]'
  • Follow the existing export pattern in services/export_csv.py or services/export_markdown.py
