Non-fiction books for those who don't have time to read

Do you like to read but don't have time for it? Do you want to learn something anytime, anywhere? This app provides non-fiction book summaries from many genres so that you can learn a lot of things in a short amount of time and with little effort.

Small format books

By downloading the APK file of the Blinkist app, you'll get access to a digital platform with more than 3,000 non-fiction book summaries across 27 different genres. Some of them are:

  • Psychology.
  • self help.
  • Productivity.
  • Philosophy.
  • communication skills.
  • motivation and inspiration.
  • technology and future.
  • Health and nutrition.

This reduced version of the books (the so-called Blinks) can be read in just 15 minutes, with each title's tab showing you the approximate time it will take you to read. In addition, as you read, you can highlight phrases, adjust font size, and easily jump from one content to another using the reading guide.

You can not only read the books, but also listen to them. Most titles have their own version in audio book format.

Open your mind to new writers

The free version of this app is very reduced but allows you to get acquainted with the beautiful interface and the different tools. With the paid version, on the other hand, you can choose any title from the catalog, get personalized recommendations, create a list of favorites, and read the books without requiring an internet connection. This way, you can read books by authors that you might otherwise never have given a chance to read.

If you want to read bestsellers and great non-fiction books, but you just don't have enough time, this app offers you a great service. Read all the books you always wanted to read and make the most of your time like never before. The app is currently available in English and German.
