Blinkist is TERRIBLE! Their summaries are over-summarized. They are at such a high level that there is very little meat. The several other services I have looked at do much better summaries.

Also, their reading comprehension level is somewhere down near third grade. Their summaries read like they were written for an elementary school audience.
