This looks pretty cool!

What's the business model going to be? The ToU are quite far-reaching regarding user content: "By submitting User Content through the Services, you hereby do and shall grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, edit, modify, truncate, aggregate, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise fully exploit the User Content".

Also, are there other ways to browse, search, etc., the highlights in addition to the daily email?

Good question! We modelled our TOS off others around the web, and I believe that term was somewhat standard. I agree it's quite aggressive though -- we're going to look into modifying it.

For our business model, in the short term, we currently recommend one highlight from a book you _don't_ own in each daily email. The recommendation is based on not just what books you read, but how much you engaged with each book, which has lead it to be surprisingly prescient. We could potentially pursue affiliate links with that.

In the medium term, we expect to offer some premium features (such as Export your highlights to Evernote), which we'll likely charge for.

The product is still nascent when it comes to the web app and browsing through your highlights, but you can check out readwise.io/library to browse all of your books, or readwise.io/dashboard more broadly :)

I currently manually copy highlights and notes to Evernote (one note per book). It's way painful. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable fee for that functionality. Will sign up when I get to a real computer.
