    Great help to review books

    I 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!

  • FEATURE REQUEST: Get notes without logging in
    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.

  • Pocket: It gets worse the more you use it
    Very much agree that Pocket has gotten worse as I've used it over the years. It's so bad I've mostly moved to the much better Readwise (https://readwise.io/). I'd be fully over if they actually supported a decent export (see below). It's sad because I'm probably in the 99th percentile of Pocket users in terms of usage and am happily paying them for Premium. I can't remember a significant improvement to Pocket in 2... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • What’s the best way to take notes while reading?
    I tend to read highlight and annotate using a Kindle, and subscribe to https://readwise.io/ to transfer my notes to the web. I would like to have the workflow to be able to write up summaries of books, if only for my own reference. At the moment reading my notes is like reading a book in itself. Source: 9 months ago
  • How to take notes on technical books?
    Some of the things I am doing include highlighting using a Kindle, and with a subscription to https://readwise.io/ downloading those highlights to my laptop. It's possible to automatically orgnanise them into chapters and sections. Source: 9 months ago
  • Looking for an app that will help me see my notes again.
    If it syncs with whatever notes app you're using Readwise might suit your needs. Source: 9 months ago
  • How to Read and Organize Online Articles (Without Driving Yourself Crazy)
    > Any decent alternatives to Pocket? I've been reasonably happy so far with Readwise. https://readwise.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
  • How do you learn from books?
    I read and highlight and annotate Kindle e-books on an Onyx Boox Nova Air C. I also have a https://readwise.io/ subscription which sends me emails of randomly selected highlights from the e-books I have been reading and also enables me to create flash cards for learning. I favourite highlights that have meaning to me, and make mini collections using tags of subjects that have meaning to me. I can put the Onyx... Source: 10 months ago
  • 3rd party app that let you highlight and export?
    If you mark up and save the PDF with any reader, e.g. Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Download | Free PDF viewer for Windows, Mac OS, Android then upload the PDF to Readwise you can export the notes to almost anywhere. It is a subscription based service though. Source: 10 months ago
  • How would you improve your Nova Air 2?
    We could do with a bug fix for this (40) "Automatically add spaces" buggy? : Onyx_Boox (reddit.com) Also it would be good if handwriting to text conversion (via the keyboard) instead of only doing one line of handwriting at a time could convert multiple lines. I would also like to be able to convert multiple pages of handwritten notes to text and for converted text to flow as paragraphs instead of individual... Source: 10 months ago
  • Just out of curiosity, how many of us utilize the note taking and/or highlighting on Kindle?
    I highlight and take the highlights out onto my laptop using https://readwise.io/ It's also possible to view the highlights in a chapter / section outline. Source: 11 months ago
  • nodes on reader and PC
    It's possible with a subscription to Readwise, or at least I can vouch for with the Kindle. Readwise will also group your notes into chapters and subheadings. It I think is possible to do the same for free with an Obsidian Kindle plugin (there may be other similar plugins as well). Source: 11 months ago
  • Does any etablet let you link to pages of an ebook?
    I have a https://readwise.io/ subscription that enables me to view Kindle highlights on my laptop and click on them to be taken to the highlight page in the book using the Kindle desktop app. Not sure if you can do the same with Kobo. You may be able to do the same for free with the Obsidian Kindle plugin. Source: 11 months ago
  • Got myself a kindle! Always wanted one.
    Have had an Oasis for about 3 years, much good reading and enjoyment. Have recently migrated to the Kindle app on an Onyx Boox for the note taking ability. A Kindle is great for reading for enjoyment, but for reading for learning being able to make notes and with handwriting or dictation (I hope!) will be better. I am able to download highlights and annotations from my Kindle to my laptop with a subscription to... Source: 11 months ago
  • Best e-ink tablet for use with Obsidian?
    You could probably do most of this with a subscription to Readwise - not sure what you would use for the notes app though. A good question. Source: 11 months ago
  • Best read-it-later app that links with Obsidian?
    So far I’ve found these: Readwise Reader (the best known), Matter and Upnext. Anyone can compare them? Any more I haven’t mentioned? Also which one do you think is more likely to keep evolving? Source: 12 months ago

  • Show HN: Apple Notes Liberator – Extract Notes.app Data and Save It as JSON
    Readwise (https://readwise.io) has a browser extension + website that will do this, a bit finicky but it gets the job done! - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • DaVinsiri – the ultimate Shortcut to supercharge your communication and content creation using Siri!
    At the end of 2022, I discovered Reader, which allows me to invoke Ghostreader to create summaries of my documents, in addition to efficiently taking notes that go directly into Readwise. It's the best of the best for me, as I have never been able to assimilate so much information before. I massively input data into the app, process it intelligently and quickly, and most importantly, export it carefully. I now... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Anki-Fy Your Life
    I really like https://readwise.io/ for this purpose regarding all the books I've read and the quotes I like to re-visit here and there. It uses a SRS technique. While this type of article is almost cliche at this point regarding someone coming across the memory limitations and the power of anki for the first time, I really think the case for anki is exaggerated with "important ideas". Anki is great for preparing... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • A great app for anyone who listens to a lot of podcasts
    The app can also export your snips along with the transcription to services like Readwise or note taking apps like Obsidian, Logseq, Bear etc. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Interesting Productivity Apps and Websites
    Readwise for highlights, reading, etc. Source: about 1 year ago
