Don't have time to read? New service compresses books to a few pages

I said I was busy, jeez.
Blinkist compresses non-fiction books into short reading packs for your mobile device.

This story first aired in March 2015.

Do you have a pile of books that you really should read but never seem to be able to find the time for? You know, those non-fiction titles that always seem to come up in conversation at parties or work meetings? Well, Blinkist could be for you. It summarizes non-fiction titles, so that you can absorb the content of a book in a matter of minutes. It's part of a trend in bite-sized writing, but is it good for books?
