No account and no subscription. Each book has a brief built from the plot and idea sections of its Wikipedia article, shown as written with the sources listed. Which section counts as a summary and which books are similar are worked out automatically, so they can occasionally be off. โ€ข Today: a nonfiction pick and a fiction pick of the day, plus what is trending and new โ€ข Browse shelves such as self-help, psychology, fantasy and classics โ€ข Search by title or author โ€ข Book pages with a summary, covers, ratings and similar books โ€ข Free copies of older public domain books where available โ€ข Save favourites and see what you viewed recently โ€ข Optional daily reminder, light and dark themes, backup and restore Use it to decide what to read next, to refresh a book you read long ago, or to check a plot before you commit to a novel. Summaries are not a replacement for reading the book. Covers and ratings come from Open Library, free copies from Project Gutenberg.
