✨ 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.

• Bulk import highlights from multiple Kindle books into NotebookLM

• Organize and clean up your highlights before using them as sources

• Ask NotebookLM questions about your books and highlights

• Summarize key ideas, compare concepts across books, and generate new insights

• Turn reading notes into content for writing, studying, and research

Note: Please make sure you import and use Kindle highlights in compliance with the copyright laws and regulations in your country/region of residence.
