Readwise

Readwise can help you remember and get more out of your digital highlights from sources like Kindle, Instapaper and iBooks. It'll send you a daily email with the best of your highlights so you can revisit and learn from what you read in the past. That's a variation of the scientific technique called Spaced Repetition that can help you remember information better over time.

Readwise also gives you a centralized way to synchronize and organize your highlights across different sources. You can tag and annotate your highlights, and search them to link and find related ideas. The service also can link to other note-taking tools like Evernote, Notion and Roam.

The Readwise service also includes a read-it-later app that lets you save and read articles, YouTube videos and newsletters. That's good for a distraction-free reading experience and for the app's powerful highlighting abilities. The app works on the web, iOS and Android, so you can read and highlight on whatever device you have handy.

Readwise has two pricing tiers:

• Readwise Lite: $5.59 per month (billed annually), which includes the daily review, library of highlights and synchronization with various sources.
• Full Readwise: $9.99 per month (billed annually), which includes everything in Readwise Lite and access to the more advanced reading app, Reader.

The service offers a 30-day free trial period, during which you can try the service and see if it's worth paying for. If you refer friends, you can get more free trial months. Students and academics can get a 50% discount.
