Get Two Months Free of Readwise
Readwise is my favorite reading tool. I use it to automatically extract my highlights from physical books, and I use their Reader to read and highlight everything I find online.
Then they automatically organize all of my notes and send them directly to my note-taking tool, so I can immediately look up anything I loved in past books I read.
It's a total game changer for getting the most out of every book you read, and if you love books, you need to be using it.
