Like most people during the lock-down, I found myself with some newfound time on my hands to cater to some new habits. I made an active decision to take up reading for leisure and learning, with the help of my 2-year-old Kindle.

But over time, I did find myself forgetting insights from the books I’ve read. Highlighting passages and taking notes within the Kindle didn't help either because of the unnecessary hassles involved in getting around to revisit it. I wanted to find a way to extract my highlights so that I could access them anywhere and anytime. This package serves to rectify that.

If you read digitally and highlight at all, I bet you would find this tool helpful. You can even tweak the Notion template provided to your liking. Some suggestions based on my use of this set-up from the last few months:

✔️ Use the database as your personal bookshelf using the default Card View on Notion or even a personal Goodreads clone using the Board View.
