Exporting

How do I export my highlights to my note-taking app such as Notion, Obsidian, Roam Research, Logseq, Evernote, etc?

Reader is innately connected to Readwise so every highlight you make in Reader will instantly sync with Readwise and then from Readwise to your note-taking apps. Over time, we intend to create a unified experience within Reader.

Can I export all of the highlights from a document at once?

To copy or download all of a document’s highlights on web, go into the Notebook tab of the right sidebar and click Export at the very bottom.

  • Copy to clipboard: Copies all of the notes and highlights as plain text for you to paste into any text editing app. (Shift + Option + C)
  • Download annotations: Downloads the document’s notes and highlights as a markdown file. (Shift + Option + D)
  • Edit export file: Opens the export template for the markdown template. This is editable and uses the Jinja2 templating language. (If you’ve ever customized an export from Readwise to a note-taking app like Obsidian or LogSeq, this should be familiar!)

On mobile, tap the i in the top right, then tap into the Notebook tab. At the bottom, tap the Export button.

  • Copy to clipboard: Copies all of the notes and highlights as plain text for you to paste into any text editing app.
  • Share highlights as .md: Generates a markdown file that you can save to your Files or share to another app.

How can I send documents to my Kindle device?

To send documents from Reader to Kindle, you first need to add your Kindle email to the Integrations page of your account.

Send to Kindle settings in Reader.
  1. Visit Amazon's preferences page, and scroll to "Personal Document Settings."
  2. Add @readwise.io to the "Approved Personal Document E-mail List."
Add readwise.io to approved Kindle emails.
  1. Copy one of your Kindle account's email addresses in "Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings" and paste it into the Reader settings.

To avoid needing to manually approve each document via a confirmation email, be sure to choose an address with a random ID at the end (e.g. username_Hyxi4vi@kindle.com instead of username@kindle.com).

To send an automatically scheduled digest of new documents to your Kindle, click the toggle beside Automatic Delivery, then select either daily or weekly. (All digests are sent at midnight Eastern Standard Time and weekly digests are sent on Fridays. If there are no new items, a digest will not be delivered.)

To manually send an individual document to your Kindle, click the Send to Kindle option in the actions menu (...) of the document.
