Next, you’ll learn how to import Kindle highlights using a simple script, so you can easily bring your reading notes into Obsidian without relying on paid services. I’ll also show you how to customize your Readwise imports to match your preferences. Finally, I’ll introduce you to the Excalidraw Writing Machine, a tool that helps turn your visual notes into structured drafts.
