What is Blinkist? We introduce the service and its features

In an age with an unmanageable amount of content, time for individual works is becoming increasingly scarce. At this point, Blinkist wants to help by summarizing content in a short and concise way. We have all the info on the service.

Reading and learning despite time constraints: this is the problem Blinkist aims to solve.

With Blinkist, it is possible to learn about the central messages and ideas of nonfiction books without having to learn the books in their entirety.

What is Blinkist? How the service works

The basic principle is quickly explained: Blinkist summarizes nonfiction books concisely.

• Each summary is available as a readable text and as an audio file.
• The text versions are each readable in a maximum of 15 minutes.
• The library currently includes over 3.000 titles from a wide range of non-fiction categories, for example politics, personal development and entrepreneurship.

Basically, Blinkist is an innovative approach for people who do not find the time to read interesting non-fiction books, but still want to know the content. It should be noted that a summary always has to give up a lot of details, so the total amount of information is much less than in the original book.How heavy this aspect weighs and whether the compression to the core idea is enough, depends on the individual profile and can not be answered in a blanket way.
