Off Topic: Books at a Glance

I'm curious if anyone subscribes to this:

https://www.booksataglance.com/

I'm wondering if this would assist me in summarizing my PhD Comprehensive Bibliography Reading. I still need to read the works in their entirety, but I'm wondering if it would help me better summarize the large amounts of material I'm reading as a supplement study.

Plus I could use it to decide what particular Logos books I want to invest in.

I'm wondering if the service is worth it. Has anyone used it?

Thanks!

Looks like they have a 30 day free trial. But you can only access 1 summary a week (even beyond the trial period).

Plus, you have to carefully destroy any downloaded summaries, after you finish the subscription. You get one copy each.

Thanks for the feedback. Probably not worth my investment. I have access to book reviews in the journals in Logos (plus I have access to journals outside of Logos from my library). They usually offer decent summaries that I can consult after reading works to make sure I'm understanding the thesis of each work.

I found out you can access more than one summary per week with the subscription. I may take the 30 day free trial and see if it's useful. I have nothing to lose by taking the trial.
