I'm looking for a solution to easily keep bookmarks digitally of physical books I read. Previously I would type up the just I was wanting to save into a Google Keep note, but that is fairly disruptive to my reading time and really slows things down.
I just found Readwise which allows you to take a picture of the page and it OCR scans the page instantly and allows you to quickly drag and select the text you want to save.
Their other feature of aggregating your bookmarks from other sources (Kindle, Instapaper, et al) are nice, but I don't use those apps very much. Really the primary feature I'm looking for is the quick bookmarker for physical books.
Readwise is essentially $5/month (slightly cheaper annually) which is more than I want to spend on something like this. I only read one or two books a month, so the price is hard for me to justify. I would much rather something with a cheaper subscription, or perhaps a one time purchase where the data is synced to an existing notes app like Keep.
Even outside of using an app like this, I'm curious how those of you who read physical books keep track of notes and bookmarks, if you do at all.
So reddit is bad because you can't break a subreddit's rules without getting called out? Also, sarcasm with 0 context, especially in text form, should always be assumed that it will not be interpreted as sarcasm. That title alone in the subreddit could absolutely be considered clickbait.
