About this app

Readwise Books is in invite-only beta. You'll need an invite code from a friend to create an account. (If you're an existing Readwise subscriber, you already have early access.)

A reading app unlike any other. Buy, read, and track all your books in one beautiful place.

ONE PLACE FOR EVERY BOOK
Read the ebooks you buy or upload. Track the rest, whether print, audio, or ebooks from elsewhere. Import your shelves from Goodreads and your Kindle library to start.

THE STRAVA OF READING
Every page flip is logged automatically, the way a pedometer counts steps. Pages roll up into reading sessions. Sessions roll up into weeks, months, and years.

METRICS THAT MATTER
Visualize rich reading data like words read, time read, pace, depth, immersion, and more. That which is measured is improved.

EVERY BOOK COUNTS
Reading on paper? Capture your starting and ending page, then save your session. Highlight print books with your camera.

READING, ELEVATED
Beautiful typography, light and dark modes, pagination or scroll, and best-in-class highlighting, notes, and tags.

READING ALONE IS BETTER, TOGETHER
Your sessions post to a light feed where friends can see that you're reading. No likes to chase, nothing to perform. More coffee shop than social network. And only if you want to.

LISTEN, TOO
Upload any DRM-free EPUB and listen with lifelike voices while the text follows along.

READWISE ECOSYSTEM
One account across Readwise Books, Reader, and Highlights. Every highlight syncs instantly.

​I stumbled upon someone recommending this app, and thank God I did, bc it's PERFECT. I was searching for an app that could host my books, sync across devices & track my reading all in one, and I found much more! ​If I could suggest one tiny feature for the future: it'd be nice if we could add tags to the books (and make them searchable) or create lists. I have a pretty extensive WTR list and it'd be easier to search for them by, for example, "sapphic" if I feel like reading a sapphic story.

This app is amazing! I don't fully understand everything yet, but a few things have really stood out beyond the reading stats. 1. Reading timer: Having a timer to track my reading stats has helped me doomscroll less since I have to pause it to keep my stats accurate. 2. Annotating: I wanted to start annotating my physical read and discovered you can photograph pages, highlight passages, and add notes or comments so much more to discover but loving it. becoming my favorite reading app

I'm premium user of Readwise for years already. Early adopter. However I don't understand this new app. Is annoying to have the shop buttom all the time there. And how is different from its Reader own app? 🤷🏽 . Which Read epubs too. But here don't accept pdf. Important thing are lacking: 1) feeling of progression have a bar 2)bookmarks 3)improve make digital highlights from the physical books. Who is able to do that in the right way will conquer the market. Something good will come from this.

Thanks for the support! Books actually already allows you to highlight physical books. Long press a book, hit “track reading session” and you’ll be able to take camera highlights. We’re adding bookmarks soon. Tap the % at the page bottom for progress options. Books is different from Reader in that it focuses on tracking, shelving, stats, & more :)
