    NotebookLM is probably better and free for books/PDFs?

      Sobrief is another alternative, the written book summaries are free, audio versions cost. I think if you are after written summaries there is no need to pay. Sobrief is good, worth checking out.

  • At this price it might be worth it… just.

      The issue with these is that yes you can get the main point of books in like 10-15 minutes but it really doesn't sink in when you are going through multiple in a day.

      • This is accurate in my experience too. As far as I know, the typical brain thrives on connections/linking information. If you read a book, there are many opportunities for this to happen. Slim to no chance with bite sized chunks.

        edit: having said that, apparently the brain also prefers chunking, or small bite sized info. So who knows.

        • I got bored of it after about a month, and exhausted the list of things I wanted to "read" and didn't want to go diving into other stuff.

        • I am no book reader. But have listened to some Audible. I feel that connection part is spot on, plus also some people are good story tellers.

          E.g. many people hate this Audiobook/book by Healthy Brain, Happy Life Audiobook by Wendy Suzuki. I loved it because she read it as and talked about her life etc.

      • The problem is there's too much content in the world. And you'll never be able to read everything.

        Think in terms choosing to read 500 things from one book or 500 best things from 10 different books.

        Which one would you prefer?

          I would prefer 1 best thing that I actually remember from one book than 10 things from 10 books where I forgot all of them. That was my issue.
