The app is easy to use and I'm learning about subjects that are new to me, expanding my horizon and my thinking. The short, concise summaries make it easy to grasp the material when I am physically doing something else, making it easier to take in and recall later.

Impressed - very useful
I am impressed by how useful the summaries are, as well as the very good selection of books. Read or listen to summaries, then buy the book if you want to.
