Not bad but expensive They have better summaries than other options but very expensive. I have signed up for the trial but forgot to cancel before it expires. It just happened that I did not have enough fund on my card and I am really not in a position to be able to afford over $300 AUD a year. Sent an email and they basically tell you they cannot force you to change credit card details but they will continue to attempt charging for few weeks. Transferred fund my card for something important last night while I only remember this morning to transfer the rest of the fund out to prevent this and bang it had been charged already. Cannot blame them but just be careful to cancel straight away after signing up for their trial because there will be no grace at all.

In depth, great summaries 1 Page summaries are a great way to see if a book is worthwhile before reading the summary OR the entire thing. Im finding that I can read the 1 page summary (not even the full summary) and determine if a book is going to interesting/useful. For books that pass that test the full summaries are very in depth and drop reading time from ~10hrs to <1hr

Hide behind their T&C's I forgot to cancel my membership 3 days after the free trial finished and they refuse to refund the payment. The just cited their T&C's

Best subscription ever! Not only do I love how Shortform makes understanding a single book or article less time-consuming, but I also love the Shortform Notes that bring further insight into the topic!

A much better experience than I… A much better experience than I imagined. Concise, to the point, quick to get the key points. Perfect for those random spare moments.
