At first I thought it was a luxury, but if you're a serious reader who wants to retain the best of what you read and be able to focus your time and mental energy on only the best of what's new each day, it's an indispensable app.

I've been using Readwise for a few months, and I love it! It’s super handy for keeping all my book highlights in one place. The Daily Review feature is awesome; it sends me daily emails with my best highlights, which really helps me remember key insights.
