Reading is important and fulfilling, but it can take more time than many of us have. It’s also an unspoken fact that books are often longer than they need to be, so sometimes the best thing to do is just get a summary.

BookNotes is a handy, subscription based digital library that delivers 15-minute overviews of hundreds of best-selling books. That includes non-fiction categories like finance, love, career, health and wellness advice, to fiction and documentaries. Each BookNotes summary highlights the key ideas of the book so you can get informed about the content without having to live with it for months. They’re also great primers to get your bearings before reading a book. Even if you don’t have time to look at a page, you can get audio summaries too. All of that has earned it a 4.1 out of 5 star rating on the App Store.
