Blinkist Android

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

Do you love to read, but don't have the time? Would you like to learn something new anytime, anywhere? This app gives us summaries of non-fiction books from a range of genres so that we can learn a lot in a very short time and with little effort.

Enjoy the NY Times bestsellers.

Small format books

Downloading the APK file from the Blinkist app gives us access to a digital platform with more than 3,000 summaries of non-fiction books in 27 different genres. These include:

• Psychology.
• Self-help.
• Productivity.
• Philosophy.
• Communication skills.
• Motivation and inspiration.
• Technology and the future.
• Health and nutrition.

Reads and highlights key ideas instantly.

This reduced version of the book (which they call blinks) can be read in just 15 minutes, although in the card for each title we can see the approximate time it will take us to read it. In addition, you can highlight phrases as you read, adjust the font size, and jump between content easily through the reading guide.

But not only can we read the books, we can also listen to them; most titles are accompanied by a version in audiobook format.

Open your mind to new authors

The free version of the app is quite small, but lets us get familiar with the pleasant interface and various tools. With the paid version we can choose any title from the catalog, receive personalized recommendations, access the bookmark classification and read the books without an internet connection. This will allow us to enjoy reading books by authors who, perhaps, we would never have tried out otherwise.

If you want to read bestsellers and great nonfiction hits, but don't have the time, this app provides a great service. Read all those books you always wanted to read and make the most of your time. However, at the moment it is only available in English and German.
