I'd pay a *lot* more for books if I could see the highlights, annotations, and marginalia of friends or people I follow. If books really do matter in the world, feels like we'd benefit from a lot more reading technology. Getting books onto the screen was a good *first* step.

Revshare with the annotators!

Yep, the next version of Glose will make that happen. Platform works wonderfully in education but needs more work to convince general readers/consumershttp://www.glose.com

Tried glose just now. Terrible UX. Aweful. Great idea though. I can help u with UX design / simplify it. If you are keen, msg me. Best.

Agree on this. Tried to provide feedback on several UI/UX issues through the help page. When submitting, the entire message vanished with no indication of whether it was submitted or not.

And yes of course we have your feedback - thanks so much

This sounds awesome. I would guess that amazon could do this with kindles.

I think it either needs to be Amazon doing it, or Amazon opening up the Kindle to 3rd party integrations in an unprecedented way. Hacks like https://github.com/avibryant/phantomsync … and
@readwiseio aren't sustainable. -
I agree. It has to be Amazon or *maybe* the smartphone platform owner.
-
Goodreads seems like a good vehicle. I don’t have a lot of confidence that amazon would ship this

Anecdotal support: I started highlighting in my books when I started a book club, and now one part of every meeting is us sharing our Kindle highlights
