I see the biggest opportunity here in summarizing books and blog posts. At least for me.

Too often, after reading a blog post, I feel like it was a waste of time. I'd prefer to read a super dense summary first. Then optionally select longer variants before reading the full thing.

Maybe There could be a compress function [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...]. Choose the compression level before reading.

Especially with books. I'm not sure how well this could work, but I'd prefer to read 100 books that way first, before deciding on the few I actually want to read.

I'd totally pay for this.
