Spinsters Library | I tried Blinkist so you don't have to | Blinkist Review [CC] @SpinstersLibrary | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 18 minutes ago.
My honest review of Blinkist, the app that claims to impart the key messages of nonfiction books in 15 minutes of audio, allowing you to read more books in a short amount of time. I've seen advertisements for Blinkist and similar book summary apps for a while, so I decided to test it for myself. Is it worth it?
