POLAR ReadwiseI imported my kindle highlights, as many others. Now I daily review some highlights (thanks to a dashboard, I am motivated). And where I didn't create highlights, as I only listened to the audiobooks, I get the highlights from others. It also allows to create beautiful quotes. It adds the book cover and matches quote and background with colours found on the book title! Really nice!

Https://getpolarized.io/ seems like it's in the same space - it's a product I wanted to love, but was a bit clunky to use and didn't end up sticking in my workflow. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Don't think Anki has a fully baked implementation of incremental reading. Polar [0] is an interesting implementation of a similar concept: read and annotate and turn your highlights into Anki flashcards automatically. [0]: https://getpolarized.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” -- Francis Bacon Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book provides a decent framework for dealing with the variety of books out there.

I'm between apps at the moment! I would have used Notion except it wasn't possible to use the app on an e-ink screen. I need an app I can compose a synopsis on at the same time as export Kindle highlights to using https://readwise.io/, which narrows the options. I'm looking at Logseq at the moment.

I can't remember a significant improvement to Pocket in 2... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
I tend to read highlight and annotate using a Kindle, and subscribe to https://readwise.io/ to transfer my notes to the web.
