#3While I rarely highlight or take notes. I'd be interested in seeing other people's highlights and notes. Is that something you guys would consider putting on your roadmap - sort of a social aspect to your currently utilitarian product?
I personally love taking highlight to use them as quick references and to synthesise content for learning, so a good execution of this concept is really valuable for me.
From the screenshots I provided we can see highlights really lack context haha. I need to double check I highlighted the content properly or if it's somehow truncated.
I wonder if it's possible to optionally get a bit of extra context around the highlights, probably not as I doubt Amazon provides it in their "API".

Edit: I'm definitely not highlighting properly, but now I know I need to add all the required context to my highlights.

Hi! It is something that we considered. Can you elaborate a little on why would you want to see other people's highlights? I'm wondering if "popular highlights" would do the job.
For me it was more around me reading a book and being able to see additional notes and thoughts from others who read it before me. Seems like I'd benefit from the notes of those smarter than me (kind of like how Harry Potter benefited from the notes of the Half Blood prince :D )

Popular highlights would probably be a great start. For me it was more around me reading a book and being able to see additional notes and thoughts from others who read it before me.
