The same reason you pay for your books: to learn and grow wiser.

The true cost of a book is not the sale price, but the hours you invest into reading it. Why invest all of that time if you aren’t going to use or remember anything from it?

Readwise costs much less than a single book per month, but lets you get much more out of your time spent reading.

Readwise makes it easy to access all of your highlights from places such as your Kindle, Instapaper, iBooks, and more. We then send you a daily email with some of those highlights, resurfacing the best parts of what you’ve read at the right time.

This practice of easily reviewing your highlights consistently means that you'll actually remember the things you've read, rather than having them disappear a couple weeks after finishing a book.

In addition to all of the above, all of your reading notes will always be at your fingertips in our web app, where you can organize them with favoriting/tagging, search through them on the go, and use a variety of other features to get the most out of what you read.

If you just love the daily email, and easily reviewing the best of your highlights, Readwise Lite is for you.

If you want the full power of the web app: tagging, note-taking, and all future reading technology that we build, we’d recommend the full Readwise. This plan also includes access to our own, all-in-one reading app: Reader.

Reader is a more powerful, more flexible version of the classic read-it-later app. If you've ever used Instapaper or Pocket, it's like those except built for the modern era. You can learn more here: readwise.io/read.
