Importing Local Ebooks

quodling
I have about 250 ebooks on each of Kindle and Ibooks on my Mac - is there an easy way to get these into Zotero?

    Nothing super easy, no. If their displays have ISBNs, importing them using Add by Identifier should be pretty quick https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library#add_item_by_identifier

    Is there a way to link to the iBooks files purchased via iBooks Store? Those files sadly are not named helpfully, but only carry a series of numbers as their names (e.g. 1090648908.epub).

    Attempting to add links to these files within Zotero has been to no avail. The "Add Attachment: Attach Link to File" menu command gives the appropriate dialog box, but only permits opening the epub file and "drilling down" levels, not selecting it.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    No advice, ZenonMarko, but I agree that would be a nice feature - or least something to remind myself that that's where it is (though of course I can make a note)
