Blinkist is a pretty cool service I've been using recently. It condenses non-fiction books into 15-min bite sized pieces that you can either read or listen to as an audiobook. You can get a taste of a lot of different texts, and come out understanding the main takeaways of the book.

I actually quite enjoy the free service, because they only give me one recommendation a day. If I like it, I listen. If I don't, I wait. Premium has too much choice… But now they're offering all of their content for free for a full 30 days (from today, not from sign-up). I found out via e-mail, and found this tweet. Happy learning, happy quarantining!

    I think it’s just more content, not all content free?

    • ts13 on 28/03/2020 - 17:09

      the e-mail I received said "here's Blinkist Premium on us". I know the wording doesn't indicate that in the tweet, but that's what my email says, and what my app reflects. Perhaps it is to reward existing (free) users though?
      Update: they also have audiobooks now!

        I just signed up and lots still locked so may just be for existing customers or targeted

          After logging in, cancel the window that prompts you to sign up to the trial.

      Looks like it’s semi premium. Used when they had 60 day free trial and was pretty good when playing audio book driving in traffic!

      Hi there! Our tweet is referring to select content for non-Premium subscribers. For the next 30 days you get our top Blinks and all Blinkist Originals for free! Audiobooks can still be purchased at the regular retail price. Happy listening!

        How did you sign up for this? I have basic membership and can't see the way to opt in. Thanks

    non-fiction Is that what Wikipedia is for?

      No, that's what library genesis and z-library are for.

    link doesnt work for me. can't sign up… anyone with success?

    • oracle365 on 29/03/2020 - 01:49

      i think i figured it out, it was confusing.

      the deal is… "premium CONTENT" is available up to 30 days for members, not premium MEMBERSHIP. "premium content" excludes audiobook.

      The "premium content" is instantly available, you don't have to sign up for trial or paid membership.

      upvote if correct and to avoid confusion to others.

    Yuck.

    Or if you prefer the blinkist version of my comment: yk.

    A tiny bit of knowledge can be more dangerous than complete ignorance.

    For instance, clive palmer giving medical advice.

      Tbf, it is very useful to get the summary of a book before you read the actual book. Especially for non fiction books. Many non fiction books are full of fillers.

      • sav11 on 29/03/2020 - 22:10

        Exactly, that's what I use it for. Saves a lot of time filtering out the rubbish.

    • DonWilson on 28/03/2020 - 20:40

      Yeah. Encyclopedias and wikipedia are the devil.

  • carrie810 on 28/03/2020 - 18:01

    Thanks for sharing. Love this app.

  • mickmntn on 28/03/2020 - 18:08

    Thanks OP.

    Have been meaning to try this :)

    Read this as Bikini Premium Contest. My bad.

    This is probably how trump derives his medical "knowledge".

    I'm getting only 7 days free trail and I need to provide credit card. Am I missing something?

  • mrjames on 28/03/2020 - 21:34

    OP, how do you activate this offer? I've setup an account and it's set as basic as default with only a 7 trial.

    • Hamlet on 29/03/2020 - 08:58

      Same here…

  • paul11 on 28/03/2020 - 23:15

    I don't see any "Free Premium for 30 days" option anywhere. Looks like its targeted.

    • scupper on 29/03/2020 - 01:03

      I think it works for previous users only. I'm a previous user and I don't see any restrictions.

  • bri3fcas3 on 29/03/2020 - 08:35

    Downloaded the app, signed up using appleID, skip the trial and there some free books for start. Thanks OP.

  • corepda on 29/03/2020 - 15:50

    I can see it is applicable until 27 apr 2020 for me but now sure if I download all the books, will they retain those purchases after the trial? I doubt they will. Including audio books.

    • sav11 on 29/03/2020 - 22:03

      I'm not sure, but don't think it retains those downloads. But if you own a kindle device, you can use the desktop Blinkist site 'send to kindle' feature, and the books will remain on your kindle after the trial ends and forever. There's a restriction on how many you can send in a month, I think it's 100 from memory from the last trial I had.

  • wanderingeyesau on 31/03/2020 - 00:22

    Looks like the free content is through app only.
