Some Blinkist summaries contain most/all important ideas from the related book. Those books tend to have a simple set of ideas, illustrated by heaps of anecdote and examples. But Blinkist also provides summaries for books that have a lot of ideas and depth (e.g. 'The book of why' by Judea Pearl) which would not benefit from being shortened. In these cases, a summary or blog post can whet your appetite, but isn't a substitute for the book.
