Business Book Sumary services

Like many I just don't read as much as I wish I did. A trainer at a seminar I attended told me about these companies who basically do really good sumaries of all the top business books - so you essentially read a 10 page summary of the book, and get the main elements of it etc - in a fraction of the time. Many are available in mp3 as well so you can listen to them in the car etc.

The one he recommended is www.getabstract.com - there are many others also. I'm going to see if I can get my company to pay for a subscription, but if not I was thinking of doing it myself. As much as I could try I can't see myself changing and reading loads, but I would definitely be able to get lots of good info from these.

I'm wondering has anyone used any of these services and have any advice?
Thanks
