# Book Summary Apps Blinkist Provides Thousands of Non-Fiction Book Summaries By Joey Haar | Published 2016-07-08 | Updated 2016-07-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-summary-app References: [blinkist](https://www.blinkist.com/en/) As the office becomes increasingly digitized and 24/7 access to things like work emails is essentially a given, finding personal time to curl up with a good book and learn something new is harder than ever--that is, without some sort of book summary app like [Blinkist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microlearning-app). Fortunately, Blinkist has attacked this modern dearth of learning time by creating an app that succinctly encapsulates the key points from thousands of the best non-fiction books available. If users only have a couple minutes before driving to work, the book summary app offers short and jam-packed two-minute "key messages." For those with a little more time, Blinkist also offers 15-minute "insight summaries." In either case, Blinkist's users can easily tackle an entire non-fiction tome in less time than it takes to find the Good Reads section in their local book store. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Book-summary Apps:** With the rise of digital technology, there is potential for innovations in the book-summary app industry to make learning more accessible and convenient to users who lack time. - **Micro-learning:** There is a growing trend towards quick and succinct methods of learning through apps like Blinkist, creating opportunities for business professionals to develop new digital learning tools. - **Personalized Learning:** The use of learning analytics and artificial intelligence in book-summary apps can help create a more personalized learning experience for users. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Edtech:** Book-summary apps and other micro-learning tools have significant disruption potential in the EdTech industry. - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can benefit from partnerships with book summary apps like Blinkist to increase book sales and expand their reach. - **Digital Libraries:** Book summary apps have a potential for innovation and collaboration with digital library platforms to provide a more accessible and convenient way of learning. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Library-Bound Micro-Learning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microlearning-app.md) - [Book Summary Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumreads.md) - [Non-Fiction Book Summaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonfiction-book.md) - [Non-Fiction Summaries Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honkist.md) - [Interactive Book Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/page-whisper.md) - [Visual Knowledge Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookwatch.md) - [Instant Summarization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saveday.md) - [AI Text Summarizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r10-ai-summarizer.md) - [Actionable Book Summary Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booktoaction.md)
