Send highlights to ReadWise

I’m beginning to adjust my purchases from Logos books to Kindle because the functions built into Readwise are more helpful long term - specifically with non-academic books. Adding this feature will increase Logos book sales and make all of us happy. Win-win!

This would be amazing, I also buy my books with Amazon or Kobo because they sync to ReadWise. 

This would literally be a game changer. I do all my writing and lesson prep inside of Obsidian and having readies integration would mean having native access to my logos highlights for quick and easy quoting! Kindle already has this feature and this is a prominent reason I get ebooks through them rather then logos.

Yes! This would be amazing.

This would prompt me to buy more books on Logos, knowing that I could export notes and highlights to Readwise.

Yes, please. I'm relatively new to Readwise, but it's quickly become essential to me. I'm a Kindle user and have been since the first Kindle was released. I'm a happy user of electronic books. But I've never invested much in Logos books. The platform is simply too self-contained. If you want me to invest more of my really large book budge in Logos, I have to be able to use Logos books outside of Logos.

@Keelan Cook  @Mike Brinker  Yes

This would greatly increase the value and usefulness of Logos for professional study and personal growth. Please look into it!

Please make this a priority. The ability to integrate my Logos highlights into my Obsidian vault would be monumental. Rather than pulling traffic or usage away from Logos, I think you all will find this will encourage users to interact more with their Logos digital library.

@David Mullens  me too

I would LOVE to have my highlights collected in one place, by resource.

This would be a huge benefit, especially for syncing my Bible Study Notes and my Highlights from books that I've read through Logos. Would love to move my library fully and completely to Logos, but this is a sticking point for sure.

The closed nature of Logos prevents me from buying more books from Logos. I'm willing to pay more if the highlights of Logo books could be sent to Readwise. Otherwise, when available I will seriously consider buying the Kindle versions instead.

I'm closing in on two years of Readwise daily usage. Those Kindle/PDF book highlights keep coming to me daily.

This has a real impact on my life - first time I've been truly able to remember and reflect that much on those pearls which keep coming to me at a reasonable rate.

As a result I've been wishing at least weekly that Logos either integrates with Readwise, or produces equivalent features, so that my most important reads could have the same impact on me.

Sincerely, there's nothing I've been wishing more about Logos than this.

It would probably be much easier (legally) for Faithlife to build the features inside its apps instead of building a sync to Readwise (as proof, see how some of our kindle highlights, when too numerous for a book, can't make it to Readwise.)

A feature directly implemented inside of Logos (with sufficient investment) would also provide much more power. Not just "full content - all your highlights without legal concerns" better, but also functionally better: hover or click on the highlight and get back to it in the book where you captured it, where you can review its context and refine its note right there: this would be superbly magnificent.

Habit-building/-keeping features: a perfect match for a Logos Pro subscription!

Of course, if you use a third leg, e.g. (1) Kindle => (2) Readwise => (3) Roam/Tana/RemNote/Notion/whatever, then you wouldn't be happy if Faithlife only produced their own internal features. As for me, as much as Roam has been an eye-opening experience for me, as much I don't want to use such an external unintegrated tool for my notes. So my other wish has been (for a longer time than Readwise-equivalent features) that Faithlife may come to sufficiently understand the value of e.g. Roam-like note taking to eventually decide to invest much more in its notes tools. (RemNote, which somehow looks like Roam + Readwise, might be quite the inspiration for Faithlife, too.)

@Daniel de Oliveira  Yes that would also be very valuable!!

I definitely agree that Logos should make their notes, highlights, and user-created content, more accessible outside of Logos through exporting and deep linking. But I'd hesitate to propose integration with any one particular application or service (e.g., ReadWise). I say this because it's unrealistic that Logos would attempt to be a comprehensive note-taking solution. For example, I don't want my daily journal, notes on current events, or a podcast to be kept in Logos. I do want to pull out of Logos notes and highlights. I do want to link back into Logos to find the resources related to those notes and highlights. And, despite how much I like ReadWise, I don't want that functionality to be dependent upon integration with one service. I think the export tools are currently too cumbersome. They don't sort notes in order they are anchored within the resource (or I haven't figured out how). And they don't provide universal back-linking into the resource.

I recommend this both for Windows and Apple laptops
