Finding time to read books is hard, especially with social media, Youtube and video games etc. eating up your valuable free time.

Blinkist is an app that provides detailed book summaries in both text and audio format, allowing you to soak up lots of information in a short period of time.

What’s the cost? A beefy subscription fee of $14.99 a MONTH. So here’s a way to access Blinkist Premium for absolutely free.

Sign up to Scribd’s free one month trial. Don’t worry about entering card details as we will cancel our subscription in 5 minutes time.

Cool! Now we’re signed up to the free trial, we can get access to Scribd’s Member Exclusives page. Access this by clicking on your profile picture in the top right and then click Member Exclusives. That’ll take you to the page show below. Click the Get Blinkist button.

This will redirect you to the Blinkist website with an auto-generated voucher code. Simply click Apply Code, create an account then BOOM! Free book summaries for 6 months!

Now that we have Blinkist Premium, we need to go back and cancel our Scribd free trial. Navigate to Scribd Account Settings, and scroll down to the End My Membership button.

It’ll display some popups making sure you want to cancel, just click through and keep pressing Continue Cancellation. Eventually, you’ll get to this screen and you’re finished!

Now you can enjoy all of your Blinkist book summaries for free. You’re welcome.
