Wow! What an astronomical amount of work it must be, to read all those books and summarize them in addition to everything else I’m sure you’ve got going on!

@nicksimard Thank you! Yeah, it feels like a big library right now :D It doesn't take a big amount of our time, but we've been doing it consistently for about 8 months :D
This is an awesome concept and I've received so much benefit from it.
Ali and Basile are incredibly talented makers and I'm just so happy to see Sipreads up here!
Hii Product hunters 😸
@bsamel and I launched Sipreads six months ago. We want it to be the most useful website for non-fiction book summaries, available for everyone, for free 😼
With Sipreads 2.0, we sipped many more books 📚 We made the design much nicer and improved our reading experience 🤩 We hope you like it & find it useful 😽
What's a book you'd like us to sip? 🤔
@bsamel @alisalahio wow it's become a massive collection! What process do you use for the summaries? It's cool that the summaries are not written as opinion. I'd like to see the chapter/page number as references for each bit so I could jump into the book for more detail on the bits I like
@bsamel @graeme_fulton Yeah, it's grown quite a bit 🐣
I read the book on my kindle and highlight what I find most useful. Then I re-read the highlighted parts while writing the summary :D
@bsamel @alisalahio I think that's really good to know for a reader on your site - I thought the posts were your own interpretation, so adding how you do it could make it more trustworthy for new readers imo ...would be good if there was an API where you could pull those highlights across and reference, but doubt it
Awesome work you guys! I've already gotten so much from v1 so I'm so excited to keep receiving great summary content on a weekly basis.
Keep up the good work!
Just subscribed. Love the idea. Question, you have an affiliate link to the books on Amazon (which is very useful!). Could you put a link to an independant book selling org? I'd much rather give my money to small stores over Amazon.
@heather_hughes Thank you for subscribing! We use Amazon for now because it was the easiest way for us to test the viability of affiliate marketing as a business model. We will be experimenting with alternatives soon.
Great idea, and saves a lot of time. Any chance in the future for subscribers to select, book interests?
@httpmax Thank you for trying us out! Don't hesitate to reply to our weekly emails with suggestions :) We love hearing from our readers.
I just skimmed your page and saw "Join 1490+ readers..." I love the specificity. :-P Definitely signed up and looking forward to reading. :-)
Great work, I love how in depth they seem compared to some others out there that are a waste of time imo
Ow woooouaaw, may a thousand thanks be bestowed upon your collective Bravery
Hope we can become friends
Please be Brave enough to open (The name is 100 % adéquate)
