No. Have you? Would you recommend it?

I can’t help but think their time is running out. AIs are going to be able to produce the book summary and maybe even generate the audio version of that too.



I have not, because I actually prefer to read the full book, even if my Tsundoku keeps growing. Another way that I look at it is that even if I compressed my unread books into summaries, I would then just get more and more summaries, ending up with the same problem.

I recommended it to you because it sounds like you really want to read the books you have or are accumulating, so you might find it valuable, even if I don't.


I prefer to read the full book as well, I just know that there are certain books for which that will never happen. For example, I would love to have already read one of those 4” thick biographies of Winston Churchill but I have almost no desire to start reading one of them.
