That's all for now, although we have many more things on the horizon, including: * extending the document Chat feature to mobile, * and chatting across your full library, * improved Search, * a ChatGPT import * better offline * and much more!

📊Not to mention parsing improvements -- making sure your articles show up cleanly and completely in Reader is always a top priority of ours. Here's the list of domains we fixed parsing for in the past few months (spanning tens of thousands of articles):

🐛 Bug Fixes As always, the team has been hard at work fixing dozens and dozens of bugs, most reported by you all -- keep them coming! (A long and incomplete list…):

🤏 Minor Improvements We've also shipped a ton of smaller features: More Robust Position Tracking Newer AI Models Readwise MCP Server Reader API Improvements Mobile File Uploading Desktop Deep‑Linking Custom iOS Icons Rebuilt Roam integration And more!

🧠 AI Themed Reviews You can now effortlessly create themed reviews in Readwise to resurface highlights only related to a particular topic or interest (thanks to LLMs). (eg your weekly review of highlights about productivity, happiness, parenting, or whatever your focus)

🎧 Audio Reviews You can now listen to your Readwise daily reviews on-the-go. This includes high quality voices and natural transitions resulting in a personalized, podcast-like listening experience of the best ideas you've read and want to revisit.

⚡️ Faster Document Opening In addition to the overall speed of EPUBs, you'll now find that documents of any type open significantly faster! Our philosophy is: First make it function; then make it fun; finally make it fast. As Reader is maturing, we're focusing more on fast.

✒️ E‑Ink Mode If you use Reader on an Android-based e-ink device, such as a Boox or Daylight, you should find the overall experience to be better optimized, including better black on white contrast and reduced animations. Just enable E-Ink mode.

💬 Chat with Document (Web Preview) You can now chat with documents as you're reading them in the web app using advanced LLMs. This is the first step of upgrading Ghostreader, and we're sharing this preview for early feedback!

📜 PDF Clean View v2 Your newly uploaded PDFs now come with a much higher quality rich text version, as well as auto-fixed titles & authors. Read, highlight, and listen to PDFs as if they were any other reflowable document. No more squinting or pinching to zoom!

Previously, Reader treated books like really long articles. Now the app smartly loads one chapter at a time, leading to a huge speed up ⚡️ The reading experience is also completely transformed, closer to other ebook apps. If you've ever tried a book, it's worth trying again :)

📚 EPUBs v2 You can now read ebooks with a dedicated "long‑form" user interface, 10x+ faster speed , chapter breaks, and dozens of formatting fixes.

Hey Leah! We ask for a book title to make sure you get the most out of Readwise. Without highlights, the app might not work well during the trial. You can add 3 books and you'll get past the sync page. Just so you know, Readwise helps you review key takeaways, while Reader organizes web content.

We're saddened to hear that Pocket is shutting down on July 8th. If you or a friend are looking for a replacement, you can import all of your Pocket articles, highlights, etc. into Reader with two clicks!
