Sync Kindle highlights, reflect daily, explore insights, and enjoy AI tools for summaries and definitions. Manage goals, quick book summaries, and export highlights. Elevate your Kindle reading with 2Read!
When I launched my first app, Highlights, I quickly realized it wasn’t working. Five months into offering traditional subscriptions, it became clear that readers wanted more. They needed something smarter, something that fit their needs better.
Highlights was, at its core, a simpler version of what 2Read is today. It lacked the AI features and refinements that make 2Read unique. After it failed, I knew I couldn’t just add AI and call it a day. I needed to rethink everything—how it worked, how it looked, and how readers interacted with it.
One thing was certain: subscriptions weren’t the answer. I had to find a new approach and a better user experience, something flexible and engaging. That’s when I started to think about apps that people keep coming back to, not because they have to, but because they want to.
The result was the AI Credit System. Instead of locking readers into a recurring plan, I decided to let them pay as they go. Need help with a challenging passage? Use a credit. Want a summary or analysis? Spend another. It’s straightforward, giving readers control over how and when they use the app’s AI-powered features.
To make it even better, I kept the core features free for life. My goal was to enhance the reading experience without creating barriers—making it more interactive, more intuitive, and ultimately more enjoyable.
If you’re a Kindle reader with a library of highlights waiting for attention, 2Read might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Alternatively, if you are not a Kindle user, the app provides comprehensive summaries of up to 85 non-fiction books in both text and audio formats, all of which are free of charge. To get you started, we’re offering 5 free AI credits to explore the app and see how it can transform your reading experience.
It’s a simple idea, but one that could make a big difference.
Hi @1truejishnu, I like your app! .... but there are somethings I'd change on the site design. I recorded a video for you, and you can check it out here: https://dev.align.io/projects/9d...
I hope it helps!
@tylerw I have reviewed the video. Thank you for the feedback; it was truly beneficial to me, as I am not a professional designer. Not only will I implement the suggested minor modifications to the landing page, but I will also retain the design elements you mentioned for my future projects.

Very interesting! Do you think there could be a Readwise integration? Readwise is a spaced-repetition app that allows you to go through your highlights. It offers a simple-to-use RESTful API. I think this would streamline the whole experience and create a great distraction-free system for reading and reviewing.
Once again, amazing work @Jishnu! Excited to try the application
@jishnu@revxrsal Thank you for your support of 2Read. The integration of Readwise is contingent upon user feedback. My goal is to develop a superior and cost-effective platform compared to Readwise.
2Read is a game-changer for book lovers! It not only makes organizing your reading list effortless but also helps you stay on track with your reading goals. The platform's sleek design and smart features make discovering and managing books an absolute breeze. If you're serious about reading and want to elevate your experience, 2Read is the perfect tool.

Great app for avid book readers! Impressed with innovative ability to get app's quick summaries of the kindle highlight and also gain deeper context with defination and explanations for each highlighted line. Truly a thoughtful and innovative tool for book lovers.
My 2¢: Integrate with Google LLM Notebook. It's a game changer for users that want the benefits of book highlights. Congratulations on the launch @1truejishnu . Onwards and upwards!
@siddharthpereiras Thanks for the support Siddharth!! I will add the idea of integrating with Google LLM to my checklist. I appreciate your suggestion.
