The developers have been amazing in requesting feedback and implementing new features. The product is still early, but I have no doubt that it will continue to improve in future iterations.
Pros:Simplicity
Cons:Light on customizability
I love it and can't wait to see what the future holds for Readwise.
Pros:The service I've been searching for to make sense of my massive pile of ebook highlights
Cons:Automatic syncing would be nice, as would grouping books by topic or date
Overall, great way to have small reminders of your books and the ideas that you found important when reading them. Looking forwards to my favourites coming up again.
Pros:Awesome to revisit books I read a while ago; Nice clean email format; Provides daily inspiration (depends on what you highlight!)
Cons:Maybe everyday is a little too much, would like to set the days I get the email

There's no point in reading a book if you're going to forget everything. Use Readwise and retain your knowledge!
Pros:It reinforces what I read so I get more value out of my reading time
Cons:Keep doing what you're doing!
I think its a fun and novel concept for an app with a lot of potential for social networking. It looks like there is some machine learning going on behind the scenes that will continue to zero in on my exact reading interests as the user base grows. I'm really intrigued to learn more about similarities I have with other people who highlighted the same excepts.
Pros:I like being reminded via email about various excerpts or quotes I've highlighted. It's inspirational for me to reread them regularly.
Cons:I like the book recommendations based on my highlights and look forward to seeing how these continue to be refined.
Overall, fantastic idea and execution.
Pros:i went from never highlighting to making it a pleasant habit. readwise really helps me get more out of the reading I do.
Cons:I'd trade all the tea in China for automatic syncing of highlights.
Killer app for anyone who's ever plowed through a dense text and had trouble carrying a conversation about it a week later!
Pros:Incredibly simple way to increase retention particularly for fans of non-fiction. Also a fun way to be reminded of your favorite passages.
Cons:None
