What is Contractbook?
Contractbook groups contracts with their amendments and renewals.
Contractbook's August batch focused on admin control and AI extraction: permission maps per space, OTP two-factor, calculations in forms, a rebuilt search page, a new extraction model and editable prompts behind default data fields. November adds linked contracts, which tie a main agreement to its amendments, renewals and supporting files and show them as one family, including on already uploaded contracts.
What is Readwise?
Readwise launches Books, its own ebook store and reading app, a week after unbundling.
Readwise now sells three products. A week after splitting Reader and Highlights into separate plans, it launched Readwise Books on October 30: an iOS and Android ebook store and reading app stocked by the major publishers, with reading sessions, following other readers, and Kindle and Goodreads imports. The same release added 13 Books tools to the Readwise MCP server, moved podcast transcripts onto the YouTube cleanup pipeline, and lets the Reader API set reading progress.

Contractbook
2.5COLLAB
Contractbook groups contracts with their amendments and renewals.
◆ Current state
Contractbook's August batch focused on admin control and AI extraction: permission maps per space, OTP two-factor, calculations in forms, a rebuilt search page, a new extraction model and editable prompts behind default data fields. November adds linked contracts, which tie a main agreement to its amendments, renewals and supporting files and show them as one family, including on already uploaded contracts.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is shifting from drafting and signing toward managing a contract repository after signature. Linked families and editable AI fields both make the stored contract record more accurate and easier to navigate.
◆ Prediction
Expect linked families to feed renewal tracking or reporting next, for example alerts when an amendment changes a key date, though the entries do not yet show that.
Readwise
6.3COLLAB
Readwise launches Books, its own ebook store and reading app, a week after unbundling.
◆ Current state
Readwise now sells three products. A week after splitting Reader and Highlights into separate plans, it launched Readwise Books on October 30: an iOS and Android ebook store and reading app stocked by the major publishers, with reading sessions, following other readers, and Kindle and Goodreads imports. The same release added 13 Books tools to the Readwise MCP server, moved podcast transcripts onto the YouTube cleanup pipeline, and lets the Reader API set reading progress.
◆ Where it's heading
Readwise is moving from a layer on top of other people's reading apps to owning the purchase and the reading itself. The unbundle, the free Books app and the shared MCP server point to separate entry products that all feed the same account. Reader keeps its weekly cadence of TTS, transcript and parsing work underneath.
◆ Prediction
Expect weekly Books fixes and Kindle-import work, and a move from invite-only to open signup if the store holds up.
