Great for discovering new books

The app has a great selection of interesting books to discover. I love the ability to listen to the audio version of the summary.
The summaries themselves are surface level, meaning they lack the depth and narrative structure that enables you to understand and retain the information you just read. The summaries are best used as an overview of a book, to decide whether you actually want to read it or not.

Selection limited

Was looking for some books on animal health particularly one by Dr. Karen Becker called a Furever dog. how about increasing the variety of topics? It’s like the same topic with a different book cover on every book you offer
