Import from Email

How do I import highlights by emailing them to Readwise?

You can import highlights from various sources by emailing them as attachments to add@readwise.io.

At the moment, we support the following sources:

  • Kindle My Clippings.txt (file stored on your Kindle device accessible through USB)
  • Kindle HTML export (for documents on Kindle iOS, Android, or Fire — instructions here)
  • Apple Books HTML export (as an alternative to the Readwise Mac tool — instructions here)
  • Scribd Exifile export (instructions here)
  • Highlighted PDFs

Whenever you email a supported file above from an email address associated with your Readwise account, it'll be automatically imported into your account.
