How Book Summaries are Created

  1. Read the book via Kindle highlighting the key points
  2. Highlights are automatically imported into the Readwise App
  3. Readwise App then automatically imports them into an Obsidian vault
  4. Highlights are then imported manually into NotebookLM for AI interactions
  5. AI prompts are used to query only the highlights (no web search) to discern key takeaways from the book
  6. After pondering the reading, highlights and AI returns, "My Summary" is crafted
  7. A further distillation step is taken by creating a one page summary card with Canva for a visual quick reference
