There is a new app. It distills books, both classics and modern bestsellers, into brief, accessible summaries. You can listen to audio versions of summaries, or read them on your phone. The app is called Instaread-or it's called Blinkist, or it's called GetAbstract or Joosr or 12Min or StoryShots or SumizeIt or CatchUp. These apps' interfaces and summary lengths vary, but all of them do pretty much the same thing: summarize books. Most of these apps were founded in the past decade. 17 million people use Blinkist alone. What is going on?
Why are there so many book summary apps? ‹ Literary Hub
