Thank you!

Okay, that's fair. It isn't that many, but it's still 10x more than the industry leader, Blinkist, though. A good start.

As a small company, we currently need to sacrifice the first reader's experience for the sake of spreading out the costs over time. But every subsequent read is cached!

I have mixed feelings. I generally agree—the industry tends to incentivize writers to fill a certain amount of space, much like college essays. However, there are quite a few books I've enjoyed in their entirety, discovering new insights when re-reading them.

Hmm, which book was it? I can check. It is designed to complement the original work by allowing you to preview/review books before/after reading them, not to replace the need to read the original book.

Good point! Easy fix.

Okay, I really appreciate the feedback! Agree on the "meat in the bone," quotes, and LLM-like writing style (which is somewhat intended).

On-the-fly/cache: Yeah, I agree. We're only four months old—the number of on-the-fly summaries will go down significantly over time.

85%: What could make it 100%?

Pricing: I think that's fair. But considering Blinkist charges for $100+ for yearly, the $80 lifetime deal isn't that bad.

Legal: We actually drive a decent amount of traffic to Amazon, Audible, and Kindle. We're hoping to partner with the publishers and authors in the future whether in the form of revenue sharing or licsening.

I'm sorry to break this news to you, but your attitude ruins the internet/world more. Can you point out one instance of 'full of shit' content on the site?

Yes, we try to borrow as often as possible and buy when necessary

Thank you for your kind feedback!

How would this ruin the internet?

The most common first action people take on our site is reading a summary of a book they've already read to assess its quality themselves. I don't think they care whether it was written by OpenAI or a monkey, as long as it's good.

Oh, lol. Just fixed it!

Yeah, great point. Will add that!
