Starting with the cons: 1) Relatively expensive 2) No quality control over the various blinks. They range from very good to quite bad. Also would help to have user reviews to know which blinks are good. There are plenty of pros though: 1) Life is too short to read a bad book. I don't think a blink can completely replace a book but it does help sort the good books from the bad ones. And then you can decide to buy the whole book if you really liked the information in it. 2) The audio books are a fantastic companion when doing chores/exercising etc 3) Extensive selection of titles, categories and the "for you" section gets it right more often than not. 4) Is really useful for the sort of books that can be condensed into points

Overall good product, but there are two simple features that The app really ought to have, 1. The ability to click the title you are currently playing and go to its front page, sometimes I want to add or remove it from my library and I have to go type in the title in order to find it and do that. 2. The ability to sort your library by topic/genre. Also would like a bullet point visual at the end of blinks to list each point, would make it easier to go back and refresh oneself on them quickly.

Bug? I like to read and highlight the texts instead of listening, because I feel I learn more that way. However when I go to highlight, the text jumps and I have to find where I was. Then successfully marked piece of text. Press "highlight" nothing happens. Try again, then it sometimes starts working but most of the times shuts down the app. Reopen the app, can't access what I'm reading or ANY title and the app claims there's an internet issue (there's not). Close and reopen doesn't help.
