I love this app. If you have always wanted to read more but can't find the time then this is for you. So many books can be condensed into just a few ideas. The rest is just padding. This app gets rid of the padding so you can whizz through books (or the ideas in them) really fast. (Edit: thanks to the developers for fixing the problem with video playback)

Hi David, This error is often caused by an outdated Youtube player app or the Lite version of Youtube on some Android devices. We've also replied to your support email about it.

The best thing I like is the selection of contents. These are best of the best book collections. The summary give you the main key points of the books. It save you time hunting and you can quickly see the relation between different books on the same topic. Some books will need the full copy to get all the detail, usually books to learn a technique. For other books, the short version is enough. I have paid life time access and its really worth it. I hope this app will last through my life time.

Really useful app. Heard about a book a million times, or just heard about a great new book?This is a great way to get the gist via a short summary and assess whether it interests you enough to go out and buy it or add to your reading list for the future. Saves so much time! Already discarded a couple of books from my 'must read that some day list' after hearing the summary and realising they were not what I was looking for. Thanks storyshots for this great idea!
