![]() Suddenly we had to choose from different models of typewriters and competing keyboard layouts. Then a bunch of nerds got together and started inventing things - and that’s when note-taking got complicated. You’d take out a sheet of parchment, dip your quill in ink, and get to writing. You’ll have to reply save thread” to the last tweet in the thread.Taking notes used to be so simple. DM the tweet to (I prefer this latter method because it’s less intrusive.)įor threads or tweetstorms, I don’t think you can do the less-intrusive DM method.There’s 2 ways to save tweets to Readwise: When I’m done, I follow the physical books method to get my highlights into Readwise/Evernote. In the meantime, I read and markup PDF in my iPad’s Good Notes 5 app. I’m hoping that converting those PDFs to ePub and reading with Apple’s iBooks will automatically get my highlights into Readwise. I haven’t found a way to get PDF highlights from my iPad Kindle app to Readwise. What about the Kindle app for mobile?Īs far as I know, the Kindle mobile app for Android, iOS, and macOS only syncs Amazon-bought books. The Readwise guys also have a Kobo integration in the works. If it’s a personal document (PDF, mobi, etc), you’ll have to manually connect your Kindle to your computer, search for the file that called “M圜lippings.txt”, and manually upload it.įor ePubs (not compatible with Kindle), I’d use iBooks, although I haven’t explored this integration yet. If you bought the book from Amazon, highlights from Kindle eReaders sync automatically to Readwise. ![]() What about PDFs for later?įor PDFs that I want to read later, I AirDrop them to my iPad, read + annotate them on Good Notes 5 (I have an Apple Pen), then get the notes into Readwise following the physical books method. I’ve used both but I just like Instapaper better. Pocket, I think, has unlimited highlights free (and integrates with Readwise, too). Note that you’ll need Instapaper Premium ($3/month) to make more than 3 highlights per article. And like Hypothes.is, Readwise’s tagging syntax works, too! Like all the other apps, any highlights and notes go into Readwise then Evernote. Method 2: Instapaper/Pocketįor articles I want to read in bulk or offline, I use Instapaper. But if you’re talking about the fundamentals - getting highlights and notes into Readwise - it’s perfect. When you delete a comment, Hypothes.is also automatically scrolls the entire page up. You need to log in for every new page you want to highlight. The only thing with Hypothes.is right now is that it’s pretty clunky. You can’t do PDFs or annotations with any other highlighting tool (that I know of). This lets you use Readwise’s tagging syntax to identify headings (.h1. Hypothes.is is better because it lets you annotate each highlight and it lets you annotate PDFs. I don't use Hypothesi.is to collaborate with others. Instapaper is for articles that I want to read later - mostly, non-work related articles - while Hypothes.is is for articles and PDFs that I read as I find them. I tend to highlight multiple passages in a page and as of this writing, I would need to take for each highlight I have on that page. I haven’t used this feature as much as I’d like to. The optical character recognition within Readwise lets you highlight the passage you want to save. With the Readwise app (still in beta), you can take a photo of the page or book. I type in-the-moment thoughts and notes on Drafts then export them to Evernote.) Method 2: The Mobile App Basically any text notes that you can type in a CSV spreadsheet. The bulk import also works for podcast notes, video notes, etc. You don’t have to do a new import for each article or book. You can have multiple books and articles in each CSV. The highlights field is the only requirement, but I’d recommend adding a Title and the URL for articles. ![]() Here’s the CSV I used for my Great by Choice notes. You can import a CSV of your notes through Readwise’s bulk import method. As of this writing, I prefer CSV imports for physical books.Typing into a CSV is faster (for now). Mobile uploads/scans for physical books with Readwise app (beta)įor physical books, I’ve tried CSV bulk imports and the Readwise app’s scanning feature.I’ll also talk about other methods I didn’t cover in the video like:
