I have been using Google Books for my reading. And that is just for one reason - all my highlights and notes are stored in Google Docs. You can use the doc to build your summaries or quickly read through all the highlights/notes.
I have yet to find a reader which can do this.
- superquest 9y agoThanks for sharing this. I've been quite frustrated by the low portability of Kindle annotations lately ...
- tristanho 9y agoI hate to self-promote on HN, but I recently developed a service which should help with this exact problem: https://readwise.io https://readwise.io Would love any feedback, if you have it :)
- pfooti 9y agoyeah, I got bummed when ... um .. there was a nice epub app for devices that went under a few years back? whatever that was, went under. I moved my epub library to google books, and it's relatively convenient. I like reading technical books on tablets or computers, as color screens seem to fit with that genre better. google books seems to do a good job of importing stuff I buy from places like pragprog, and then be accessible from whatever devices I have.
