✨ Why We Built It
We all love reading on Kindle, whether it’s business books, essays, or deep research.
But turning highlights into something you can actually use later is harder than it should be.
Highlights often stay scattered across books, and revisiting them takes time. With Glasp + NotebookLM, you can turn your Kindle highlights into clean, searchable sources, so you can learn faster, connect ideas, and generate insights instantly.
