Save the lines worth keeping Type a quote or scan it straight from the page with your camera. Tag it to the book, add the page, mark a favorite. Your highlights live in one searchable journal β not locked inside an e-reader. See your reading add up Books finished, pages read, your reading pace and streak, top genres, books by month. Set a yearly goal and watch it fill. Every number reflects only what you've logged. Make a Reading Wrapped β anytime Turn any month, year, or single book into a beautiful recap card and share it in a tap. Not once a year β whenever you finish something you're proud of.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YOURePUB at none against Reading Journal's 3. YOURePUB also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Reading Journal's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
