Thank you for reading. Kindle Auto-Sync is still in beta, so your feedback shapes what we fix and build next.
Two questions for those who try it: which sync schedule did you pick (daily, every 3 days, or weekly), and is there anything that stopped you from turning it on? If your Amazon store or a book does not sync the way you expect, reply here or post it on r/glasp (https://www.reddit.com/r/glasp/), and we will look into it.
The biggest benefit here is removing a task that is easy to postpone. Highlighting a passage takes a moment, but remembering to export it later creates friction between reading and actually using what we read. Automatic syncing could help close that gap, especially when Kindle highlights become searchable alongside notes from other sources. I also appreciate the option to exclude specific books; a useful knowledge library should reflect what we want to revisit. The next challenge is making those synced highlights part of a regular reflection habit. Collecting passages is only the beginning; returning to them is where learning compounds.
Thank you, Jim. You put it well: highlighting takes a second, but exporting is the step that quietly never happens, and that gap is where most of what we read gets lost.

I agree that returning is where the learning compounds. That is what the Daily Kindle Review is for: it brings a few of your synced Kindle highlights back to you each day, so revisiting them does not depend on remembering to.
