I've read a lot on a Kindle over the past 10 years at least.
But, my pace has accelerated lately since I've reliably carved out 30 minutes every weekday morning to ride an exercise bike and read while I'm doing it.
The highlight feature always seemed neat but pointless, because I never really looked into how to uplift that data into some other system.
But, this plugin did a nice job of pulling down all the highlights and notes from books I've read on my Kindle.
So now, I have nice markdown files for all my books, ready to copy/paste into blog posts if I manage to motivate myself to do it.
Probably worth its own standalone post, rather than trying to clutter up a miscellanea post like this.
Off the top of my head, I thought this book was pretty great. Neither selling doom nor hype, rather realistic about where AI was at, circa April 2024.
That said, it all still applies now in September 2025, but it's worth noting that this stuff is still moving fast—I don't think we've quite hit the flattening of the S-curve yet.
Though, I do think we will find that flattening—and will have found that this stuff isn't a hockey stick.
