It's how you end up with Blinkist.
Don't get me wrong, most books are overly stuffed and could stand to be much shorter, but you aren't going to take much from 5 minutes of a summary alone. I'm convinced that it's not really a learning app as much as it is for puffery.
- helboi4 3y agoYeah I really can't think of anything worse than reading only summaries of books in an attempt to retreive efficient information. The point of the book is the journey and how it makes you feel. Even a non-fiction book.
