## Features
In terms of **syncing [[kindle|Kindle]] highlights with [[notion|Notion]]**, we
have the following solutions (disregarding personal tinkered solutions)

## Integration
- Readwise Reader - Read-later
- [Nicole van der Hoeven - I can finally tell you about Readwise Reader.](https://youtu.be/uNH1JDOmGJw)
- With reader, there is no need for Pocket or Instapaper.
- Podcasts
- The only two integrations supported as of now are [Airr](https://airr.io)
and [Snipd](https://snipd.com).
- Airr doesn't even have a home page?
- Book Reader
- [[kindle|Kindle]]
- WeChat Reading, using [Notepal](https://notepal.randynamic.org) to
integrate. This is the deal maker for using WeChat Reading as the e-book
reader.
