I can concur that Readwise Reader is a great tool. But I found the enrolment a bit confusing, and they are not upfront enough that it's only a trial and there is no free tier. The site navigation also makes it tricky to find pricing info. I decided to switch to Instapaper instead, which gives me most of the same features.
Much as I agree that we should pay for services, these add up and $5 for a reader app is a bit steep when I'm already subscribing to email software, accounting software, grammar AI, transcription service, and more. Instapaper is cheaper and has a free tier. I'd go back to Pocket, but that service seems intent to keep straying from its initial reader-style functions.
This is one superb write-up. 🎖️👋. I'll be passing on this post link to my bulletin readers this Sunday.
Thanks for the great newsletter, Jeremy.

Hey Jeremy, I love your newsletter. What's the tool you're using for your newsletter and how do you put audio on it?
