Apple-iBooks-Highlighted-Text-Exporter 📚

This Python script exports all notes, books and authors from the iBooks database to a private database

This application also manages authors and books by creating records and automatic links in the private database.

For each book, author and note, the script will create a new record with all possible important fields.

The script automatically handles already existing notes, books and authors.

The structure of the database where the notes will be stored is available in the repository.
