BOOX Integrates with Readwise to Close the Loop Between Reading and Retention

We're excited to officially announce our partnership with Readwise, a software and service built to gather your digital highlights and help you remember what you read. BOOX users can now seamlessly export the highlights, underlines, and annotations made within the built-in reading app NeoReader directly to their Readwise account. This integration also allows you to review all your highlights without distractions, right from your BOOX ePaper screen.

Readwise: Get the Most out of Your Reading

You finish a book, and just a few days or even a few hours later, the core ideas have already faded. This isn’t a failure of effort. It’s how human memory works. Without deliberate reinforcement, most of what we read simply slips away.

That's where Readwise comes in.

Readwise is a digital tool to help you capture, organize, and remember the highlights you make while reading. It syncs text you underline or save from various platforms such as BOOX, Kindle, and Instapaper, gathers them all into one place, and ensures that you'll actually see and use them. Leveraging scientifically proven learning techniques called Spaced Repetition and Active Recall, Readwise regularly resurfaces your past highlights back to you to enhance retention. Through daily emails, the Readwise app, or on your BOOX ePaper, you can revisit them to master the knowledge you've acquired.

Readwise on BOOX ePaper: Read More Deeply, Remember More

A Distraction-Free Space to Capture

BOOX devices are built for deep, focused reading, offering a paper-like screen that is easy on the eyes and free from the constant pull of notifications. As you read, you can freely capture whatever stands out to you, whether it's a highlight, an underline, or an annotation. Now with Readwise integrated into the built-in reading app NeoReader, your favorite quotes can be collected together and transformed into part of your personal knowledge base, rather than being forgotten over time.

Exporting these ideas to your Readwise account is simple. You just need to open the book's Contents menu, select your highlights and annotations, and tap "Export to Apps". Instead of dealing with messy cables or manual file transfers, your highlights can be seamlessly pushed to your Readwise cloud library, ready for future learning. This effortless approach ensures your focus remains entirely on absorbing information

Different Ways to Review

To retain more of what you've read, revisiting is essential. On BOOX ePaper tablets, you can access your Readwise library in two flexible ways.

• Inside NeoReader: Through the native integration with Readwise, you can view all your Readwise highlights right from the BOOX library, not only the ones you made on your BOOX device, but also those captured from any other reading sources connected to your Readwise account. They are neatly organized by book or article. Simply tap one to unfold all the highlights and annotations you've made inside that specific read.

• Via the Readwise App: Running on an open Android operating system, BOOX devices let you download the official Readwise app from the Google Play Store. With this app, you can complete your Daily Review, turn highlights into flashcards for added retention, organize with tags, and use search to find a highlight instantly. Moving this ritual from a distracting smartphone to a calm ePaper screen reduces digital eye strain, keeps your mind focused, and makes it easy to maintain a review habit.

"We are delighted to discover that BOOX is pioneering Android-based, open eReaders. Their devices have become the daily drivers for everyone on our team and many of our users," says Daniel Doyon, co-founder of Readwise. "We've been championing BOOX and their products for years. With this integration, we are excited to now be directly collaborating with BOOX to find ways to help readers get more out of what they read."

Wrap Up

This integration closes the gap between reading and long-term retention. Through this partnership, now you can enjoy the full benefits of BOOX's eye-friendly ePaper screen, dive into your books using the powerful native reading app NeoReader, and export your NeoReader highlights into your Readwise cloud storage for reviewing anytime, anywhere. The combination of BOOX and Readwise increases the enjoyment of your reading and transforms what you read into lasting insight.
