The ultimate reading / marking / second brain / reading and workflow
i want to develop a workflow that allows me to have a smooth as possible experience of summarizing books across places and devices:
devices: android tablet, android smartphone, windows laptop, kindle oasis, new: boox note 3.
when i drive to work by train:
reading a book via kindle.
using highlight function.
using readwise: h1, h2, h3 for header as well as c1, c2 and so on for combining marked areas.
or i read with my android tablet.
with moon reader pro.
has a readwise integration, too.
but does not unterstand the h1 and c1 logic that allows for better export via readwise towards evernote and notion.
when being at work:
i read with the laptop, using calibre.
i first have to find the are i stopped reading in the train.
i have to export the kindle file - epub - onto my laptop and open it.
calibre have a readwise integration, too. however, again, the h1 and c1 logic does not work.
so while i read on calibre on the one side of the screen, i have evernote on the other side. making my summary of the most important parts.
this is just a copy and paste of those selected sections where i really lean something new.
while being at work, i sometimes switch to my android tablet.
all the notes from the laptop are missing now.
so i can upload my epub to dropbox and download it via the tablet and move on.
i do split screen on the tablet - moon reader + evernote - however, i prefer moon reader only to read fast, mark the important areas and send it to readwise.
back home by train:
putting again the file via usb from android to kindle to read.
new device:
boox note 3 - with android 10 - so moon reader pro can be installed.
idea: reading more or less only with the boox note 3 via the moon reader.
the moon reader allows to save the point where i stopped reading and works of course with readwise, too.
later, when i am at my laptop, i do a summary of the most important areas that were just exported from readwise to evernote.
my goal is / i am done when:
1) i have a summary on evernote (sometimes larger text blocks, the more important part is bold, the even more important of that is highlighted yellow - see tiago forte of making summaries)
2) that i copy it to notion
3) notion allows me to link just selected parts of note across different other notes and create evergreen notes (like a tree diagram of information).
it would be interesting to hear how other's manage their "ultimate smooth read-/workflow? i feel like having too many manual interface interactions (switching files with a cable between devices) that ultimately decreases the overall smooth workflow experience.
