Forgetting what you read, can't keep it up, can't produce output—How I solved the 3 major Kindle reading problems all at once with AI
It all started with Shinji Koshikawa's Voicy.
After listening to him talk about 'reviewing your subscriptions,' I decided to take stock of my own. That's when Kindle Unlimited caught my eye. It costs about 1,000 yen a month, and I realized, 'Wait, I'm not really making the most of this.'
I thought about canceling it. But before I did, I decided to dig into 'why I wasn't utilizing it' and had an honest back-and-forth with Claude. Through that conversation, I arrived at this workflow.
You have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, but somehow you can't keep up with reading. You have the devices, but you're not using them. Even when you do read, when it comes time to output on a blog or social media, you can't remember what you read... Have you ever had that experience?
Actually, I was like that for a long time, too.
I took it for granted that Kindle was something you read on an iPad or a Kindle device. But today, I realized that was just an assumption.
The large screen is easy on the eyes. The text is large and easy to read. And the decisive factor was the combination with Super Whisper (a voice input tool).
When I notice something while reading, I say it out loud on the spot. Then, Super Whisper automatically inputs it directly into the Kindle memo field. You don't even need to copy and paste.
My workflow has become this:
Read Kindle on a large Mac screen -> Speak immediately with Super Whisper when you notice something -> Automatically save to Kindle memos -> Display a list of memos and highlights at read.amazon.co.jp -> Send to Claude to organize into a blog post
That's all there is to it.
Moreover, this workflow isn't just for blog posts. If you export it directly to a memo app like Notion or UpNote, you can also use it as your own personal reading notebook. Insights you want to keep but aren't quite blog-worthy, records of books you've read, ideas you want to search for later—these things accumulate naturally.
Since you have multiple outlets for output—not just blogs, but also memos, reading notebooks, and social media posts—your reading output will accelerate all at once.
The tools are already there. Just by changing how you use them a little, your reading will accelerate instantly.
This is a workflow I highly recommend to anyone who has a Kindle Unlimited subscription they aren't fully utilizing.
