Hey everyone, I built this product out of frustration with the complicated process for exporting highlights from my Kobo. Connecting it with a cable and messing with the on-device database was enough of a hassle that I rarely exported my highlights.


The way Highlights.Email works is you install it once on your Kobo and from then on, you simply tap a menu option and your highlights arrive in your inbox. It's currently free for the first 20 emails (while I gauge interest and figure out a fair pricing model).


I'd love to hear what other Kobo/ eReader users think about the product and any features you'd like to see.

Interesting project, congratulations on the release, will the follow-up be free all the time?

@axindie Thanks very much! Yes, I plan to keep a free tier permanently which will continue to offer core functionality (probably with a reasonable limit on monthly exports). The long-term plan is to introduce a paid plan for power users that offers additional functionality that they might find useful.

Saves so much time for Kobo users! 👍

@shenjun So true! When I built the initial prototype for myself, it completely transformed my highlights workflow because of how often and easily I could export them. I immediately knew I had to share it with fellow Kobo users. Thanks for leaving a comment :)

@kavith Thanks Kavith, I really like those products who focused on a specific issue and really solves them than those who calls itself general or all-in-one, your product is do a good example I will share with my friends who are using kobo.
