Integration

• Readwise Reader - Read-later
  • Nicole van der Hoeven - I can finally tell you about Readwise Reader.
  • With reader, there is no need for Pocket or Instapaper.
• Podcasts
  • The only two integrations supported as of now are Airr and Snipd.
  • Airr doesn’t even have a home page?
• Book Reader
  • Kindle
  • WeChat Reading, using Notepal to integrate. This is the deal maker for using WeChat Reading as the e-book reader.

It's not wise to consider only those support Readwise
