Review of Readwise

I absolutely love this app. I read a lot and always look forward to my Readwise emails. It helps me remember items that I highlighted and also brings back great memories of some of my favorite books

Review of Readwise Beta

I put as my only con - "Only as good as the original highlights" which really isn't a con, and of course makes sense - no other way this can work. Fortunately mine are pretty good, and my reading has been diverse. It's fascinating to me how one can read an entire book, highlighting away, but then just one sentence, viewed later, can be so profound/interesting/fun. It's so nice to have this random access into something I have invested my time in (the original highlighting) but was never quite sure how or if I would ever use.

Review of Readwise

The Readwise email is part of my daily morning ritual. Sometimes I share via Twitter and/or Facebook, and other times I simply get inspired! What a great return on all those highlights I accumulated, not knowing if I would ever do anything with them!

Review of Readwise

ReadWise plays an important role in my daily learning. As part of my workflow and habit, the daily update mail is super relevant and good. It really resurfaces my notes and highlights to not let my learnings go stale. Highly recommend it.

Review of Readwise Beta

Amazon's web interface for accessing Kindle highlights is pretty unruly, so hoping this is a good alternative.

Review of Readwise Beta

Readwise is just a really cool way to enhance your reading experience. I love the feeling when I highlight something now that I know I'm going to see it again.

The email digest is already one of my favorite things in my inbox, but I'm also really excited to see them continue building out the actual "hub" for my highlights. It has the chance to be the best record of your reading habits and thoughts on books.

I highly recommend all readers give it a try.

Review of Readwise

I've been using Readwise for several months, and it's had a more dramatic effect on my reading habits that anything since I got my first iPhone. If you want to capture the most important parts of what you read (and increase your chances of actually applying stuff), you should use it.

Review of Readwise

I use it almost exclusively with Kindle Highlights and Clippings. This is probably the best email I get everyday. I even used their blog to update my reading list.

If you have not tried this yet, please do!
