Don't forget the books you've read. You highlight dozens of lines while reading, then rarely open those notes again. EasyReadAI is a book notes app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Collect highlights from ebooks and paper books, see a few again every day, and ask AI about any passage. COLLECT HIGHLIGHTS FROM WHERE YOU READ • Kindle: import the notebook exported from the Kindle app, or My Clippings.txt from a Kindle e-reader, many books at once. • Apple Books: copy your highlights and paste them in; the book title is filled in for you. • WeRead: sync with your own official WeRead key, or paste one book at a time. • Paper books: photograph a page; the text is recognized on your device. • Your own EPUB, PDF, TXT and RTF files: read them in the app and save passages as you go. • Share text, images or files from other apps straight to EasyReadAI. Highlights you already imported are skipped. MEET YOUR OLD HIGHLIGHTS AGAIN Today's 5 quotes brings back a few saved passages every day, and a Home Screen widget can show one too. When something new comes to mind, write it down. The same line can read differently a few months later. FIND LINKS BETWEEN BOOKS "I think I read this somewhere else." EasyReadAI compares notes from different books on your device and suggests passages that may be related. Keep the links you find interesting and dismiss the rest. Connections need notes from at least two books; some spark an idea, some only share a few words. ASK AI ABOUT A PASSAGE Ask what a line means, what it assumes, or how it relates to your own life, and keep following up. Set the reply style you like: shorter, more detailed, or with more angles to think about. The passage, your thoughts and the AI answers stay together for later. YOUR BOOKS AND NOTES STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Books and notes are stored on your device by default, and connections between books are computed on it. When you use AI, the passage and your question are sent to the AI service you choose, only after you agree. AI uses credits or your own API key; answers are for reference. Good for you if you: • highlight a lot but rarely look back • read across Kindle, Apple Books, WeRead, ebooks and paper books • want to revisit what you read and note what you think now • like to think one step further without spending hours organizing notes Start with a line you once highlighted, and see what it makes you think today.
