How to collect book quotes into linked research notes with Aquilum

Read an EPUB or other book in the vault and save passages as quotes you can link and search.

Short answer: Add an EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 or FB2 file to the vault so it appears in the book library; then open the book from the library, which resumes your saved reading position; select a passage in the reader and save it as a quote in the book note. All steps.

Who it is forA student or reader who studies long-form books and wants key passages filed next to their own ideas and projects.

The problemHighlights live in a reading app and are hard to connect to the notes where the ideas are developed.

The outcomeSaved book quotes in the book note, linked to project notes and found through vault search.

What you need first

  • A Windows PC for the installer path described in the README, or macOS or Linux per the README's platform claims
  • A folder on disk chosen as the vault (existing or new)
  • For the agent use case: a compatible AI tool that can connect to a local MCP server

Steps

  1. Add an EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 or FB2 file to the vault so it appears in the book library.
  2. Open the book from the library, which resumes your saved reading position.
  3. Select a passage in the reader and save it as a quote in the book note.
  4. Add a link from the quote to a project or idea note.
  5. Search the vault for a phrase from the quote to confirm it is indexed.

Prompt for your agent

In the Aquilum vault at <vault-path>, find the book note for <book-title> and list every saved quote with its linked note. Output a Markdown list of quote text and link targets. Verify that the quotes appear in the book note file on disk.

Caveat. The README says the original book files stay in the vault, but it does not say how a quote is stored in the book note, so check the saved output before you rely on it.
