A Complete Serious-Reading Workflow: Book Finding, PDF-to-EPUB Agent Skill, and Obsidian
vista8 · x · 2026-09-17
After MusicBridge went viral, the author explains why they paused on building a book-sync tool and instead documented a full serious-reading workflow.
The pipeline covers:
- Book discovery tools, plus the Z-Library and Anna's Archive shadow libraries
- Scanned PDF to EPUB conversion, powered by a self-built Agent Skill
- Immersive reading app recommendations
- Knowledge internalization into Flomo / Obsidian
Every step includes tool choices and concrete setup steps, so readers can replicate the whole reading pipeline.
