I wanted something more advanced than Pocket, which integrated with my Obsidian vault and had better highlighting features and voice, so it was a choice between Matter and Readwise Reader.

I went with Readwise because they were a bootstrapped company vs VC-funded Matter, but now I'm starting to wish I went with Matter because they've been shipping meaningful updates more reliably.

Also, I interviewer with Dan from Readwise and he totally ghosted me, so I may be a little bitter about that, ha.

Not OP but I pay for Readwise because it works and this volunteer effort funding model always makes me nervous.
