From the support inbox
Have questions about using Readwise or Reader in your workflow? We'd love to be your guide! Reply to this email with your question and you might be featured in an upcoming issue. Even if your question isn’t featured, we’ll respond to every message.
❓ A Reader question from Jose L:
Can I find reading recommendations in Reader?
Absolutely! Reader’s discovery feature can help you uncover high-quality reads and add them directly to your library. To get started, tap the ‘+’ icon and select Discover new documents at the bottom. If you’d like recommendations sent straight to your inbox, you can also subscribe to our weekly Wisereads RSS.
❓ A Readwise question from Shaksham K:
Is there an option to manually add highlights by typing?
Yes! With Freeform Input or the CSV Import, you can manually add your highlights from anywhere—Apple Notes, physical notebooks, you name it. Pro tip: CSV uploads make future edits simple. Re-upload your spreadsheet, and we'll automatically update your notes and highlights.

What's new in Reader and Readwise
📝 NEW! Craft Integration — You can now sync your Readwise highlights to Craft. To get started, head to http://readwise.io/export to connect to Craft and choose your documents. Huge thanks to the Craft team for making this possible!
🇮🇹 Offsite #8 — Our team gathered in Tuscany, Italy this week to meet new faces, hang out, and hack on projects together. If you’re curious, here’s how we plan offsites and why they’re so important to our team.
🔈 Fixed Garbled TTS — V8 voices should no longer sound garbled on documents containing the word somewhere, thanks to the folks at Unreal Speech.
🛜 Parsing Updates — Kryzs improved how Reader handles documents from espn.com, screenrant.com, ansa.it, nature.com, spectrum.ieee.org, and dailymail.co.uk.
👍 Three featured finds
From support specialist Angie
Something to read 📖
Angie’s keeping an eye on Sony’s plans to adapt her favorite speculative fiction series, The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. (Coincidentally, the first ebook in the series is on sale today for $2.99 in the US and Canada!)
Something to focus ☕️
This slim De’Longhi espresso machine fits perfectly on Angie’s small kitchen counter and keeps the caffeine flowing.
Something to unwind 🎶
Angie’s been vibing to the latest Rüfüs Du Sol album, Inhale / Exhale—lush, danceable, and full of feeling.
💬 From the Readwise group chat
Bless you! 🐈
Are we dog people or cat people? I guess you could say we’re both. We love sharing photos of feline friends we meet when we’re traveling! Especially if they look like they’re on the verge of sneezing, like this little dude Angie met in Italy.
See you next week!
Warmly,
the Readwise customer support team
