We've all seen the statistics on the decrease in reading habits across the US. We can even see the proof on every commute, looking around at the faces lit up by smartphone screens instead of buried in a book. But these trends don't necessarily herald a dumbed-down population. The fact is, we're all a lot busier—and that leaves a lot less time to read.

That's a particular shame if you're an entrepreneur or looking to advance in the business world. This past decade has seen the debut of some truly game-changing books about business and self-improvement from the likes of Malcolm Gladwell, Richard Koch, and other visionaries. But time, as they say, is money. And for those of us without a lot of downtime, books are a tough investment to make.

Luckily, there's now a way to put those books on your schedule. Instaread is a book summary service specifically designed for the modern entrepreneur: This app takes the bestselling non-fiction books from a variety of genres and condenses them into audio or text capsules that are no more than 20 minutes long—perfect for absorbing during a morning commute or midday workout.

App users can gain access to more than 1,000 titles, with 40 new books added every month. Every tome is organized and easy to find in a range of categories, such as self-help, business and economics, politics, etc. Choose from New York Times best sellers like Gladwell's Blink and Ray Dalio's Principles, along with biographies of every modern business icon from Elon Musk to Jay-Z. Every title is expertly distilled for its key insights, so you can benefit from them, take notes, and go on with your day.
