Readwise Books combines ebook reading with tracking across print, audio, and digital books. The app records reading sessions, pages, time, pace, and other metrics, and supports notes, highlights, tags, and imports from Goodreads or a Kindle library. Readers can capture sessions from print books and optionally share reading activity in a lightweight feed. The listing also describes narration for DRM-free EPUB uploads and highlight sync across the Readwise ecosystem. Access is invite-only at the time of the listing; existing Readwise subscribers have early access. Because availability depends on an invite or subscription status, this may not be immediately usable by every reader. Check current eligibility and any Readwise plan requirements before migrating a library.
