There is an email that I get every day of the week. It is automated, but its content is personal, just for me. There are no images, engaging graphics or links to fun videos or clever memes.
It is just text. None of it is really new either – I have read it all before, perhaps more than once. Of course, it may have been a while, so I may discover some or all of it anew, when the email comes in.
Nevertheless: There is no original content here. And yet, several times a week, I find myself opening that email, reading, thinking, perhaps intrigued, often smiling.
Readwise allows you to connect various applications (such as Kindle, Instapaper, et cetera) and will then generate a daily email that reminds you of some of the best highlights that you made in your electronic reading.
A simple idea; surprisingly valuable.
