• For more than 40 years, busy professionals have turned to Soundview to find the latest ideas and strategies from the best business books so they can stay up-to-date and thrive in their careers. We review thousands of full-length business books each year and select those with best new, innovative ideas to be included as quick-read/quick-listen summaries. Each summary includes just the best, most actionable insights from the full-length book. As each new summary is published, it is released on our website/app where you can read or listen to it at your convenience. We’ll let you know as new summaries become available.
  • All plans include access to 1 to 2 new book summaries delivered to your digital library each week (approximately 7 new summaries each month) + access to our archive of thousands of previously released book summaries. Upgrading to our Professional Plan gives you audio versions of all summaries, access to all of our on-demand webinars, and our monthly The Edge newsletter. You'll also unlock all website and app features including custom bookshelves, highlighting, note-taking, and downloading for offline access. Upgrading to our Premier Plan unlocks access to our video library which contains concise takeaways from the best minds in business.
  • Yes. All plans include text versions of the summaries. Professional and Premier plans also include audio.
  • Our book summaries are typically 4-8 printed pages in length. Most can be read in 20 minutes or less. Our audio summaries usually run about 10-20 minutes long.
  • You can read, watch, or listen to as many summaries as you have time for. There are no limits or restrictions. Read as much as you want, anytime you want.
  • New book summaries are released every week. We’ll notify you by email and/or app notification as these new summaries become available.
  • Absolutely! All of our book summaries can be accessed through a web browser on conventional desktop/laptop computers and all mobile devices (phones, tablets, etc.). Our website is mobile-friendly, so it will automatically resize to fit any screen you’re using.

  • We do. For our best multi-users rates, please visit https://www.summary.com/contact-sales and let us know how many people will need access to the summaries. We’ll get back in touch with you as soon as we can (usually the same day).
  • We do not offer single summary purchases, but if you are in need of a bulk order of book summaries, please contact us.
  • Occasionally there may be instances when we cannot secure the necessary permissions to summarize a book in a timely fashion. Our goal is to provide coverage of the best business books as fast as we can, so in these instances our editors will provide a subjective book review (we call them Book Snaps) until a summary becomes available.
  • You can cancel your subscription under the billing section in your account settings. Our customer service team is also available from 9:00am to 5:00pm EST Monday through Friday to help you find the plan that works best for your situation.
