 How can you highlight a book? Do you input a URL to a webpage with the html book? 
 For now yes, but I’m working on

- Import an epub
- Import a PDF
- follow an RSS (like mises’)

And I’m making the experience optimized for reading/highlighting on an iPad 

Oh, and one last thing: buying a book directly from Highlighter 
 I was just wanting something like this! 
 Noob here, could/does Nostr support uncensorable videos? 
 You could post any video, but if all of the relays it is on decided to remove it, then it is effectively censored. But if you (also) keep it on your own personal relay, then it still discoverable ...unless you are coerced to remove it. 
 Looking forward to your code for epub import. Every time I look at the underlying structure of another epub, the more I believe everyone is just fucking around 
 I don't think It will disappear

 The horse buggy might also have not disappeared, but that doesn't mean that better transportation hasn't overtaken them. My point being that we should try to leverage new formats and structures for conveying information. Also, PDF's are pretty bad for anything other than print. Imagine linking a DVM to analyze the text of papers, but this one (http://bayes.cs.ucla.edu/BOOK-2K/ch1-3.pdf) ends up being in your pile. Try copying and pasting the text in there, which a script would try and scrape from the file. 
 It was like with DVM you lose social graph (hodlbod quote) and with PDF lose the structure, compound 🤨
