What's the point? If you set up kindle highlights to automatically get uploaded, what is the purpose of this? Even worse, the Readwise Highlighter import directs you here to get this extension whether you have this one and the actual web highlighter installed. Useless.

Love Readwise and especially Reader. Readwise: - Amazing to revise some of the most important knowledge I have gathered over the years Reader: - Best tool to gather new knowledge. Nice and user friendly. - Really like the option to highlight both in main website and in Reader so that the website is not distorted. - Love the Youtube highlight function. Whoever thought of this, thanks so much!!! Now youtube can build longterm memory from some of the best lectures and tutorials.
