Can something as great as reading get 10x better?
I love reading, but I’m greedy. Why shouldn’t it be easier? Easier to remember what you’ve read and connect your cross-platform discoveries. Easier to get into the flow of reading. Easier to take notes and highlight. Maybe even easier, somehow, to manage your TBR pile. Well, maybe it’s about to happen.
I’ve been using Readwise for a while to get better access to highlighted passages from my Kindle. Now they are rolling out a comprehensive reading app which promises to replace alternatives like Instapaper and Pocket with something even more powerful. They’ve written a blog post explaining what they are up to and I haven’t been so excited since the Kindle launched. If you’re a serious reader, you probably should be too. Who wouldn’t want this?
“…blazingly fast, full-text search of your entire library of books, articles, annotations, and highlights. You can find whatever you're looking for, even if all you can remember is a single word. Even offline.”
And it’s hard to argue with this:
“…the technology industry thus far has focused on building out hardware and distribution infrastructure rather than reimagining what a reading application could be.”
If you’re a reading nerd like me, you’ll want to read the whole thing. Or for the impatient, join the waitlist for early access.
