Frequently Asked Questions

🚀 How is shortfor.dev different from other book summary services?

Unlike other platforms, shortfor.dev specializes exclusively in technical books. We handpick the best materials on programming, DevOps, AI, cybersecurity, and other tech-related topics. Our summaries are manually crafted to highlight key ideas without losing meaning. No generic self-improvement or business books—just practical knowledge for IT professionals.

🤔 Why can’t I just use ChatGPT and save money?

ChatGPT doesn’t read books; it generates text based on fragmented data. It can miss key ideas, introduce errors, or present content in an unstructured way. At shortfor.dev, we deeply analyze each chapter, extract the most important insights, and present the information logically and coherently so you can quickly absorb valuable knowledge.

🔍 Why are your summaries better than just looking up a book review on Google or Amazon?

Reviews on Google and Amazon are often written by readers who liked or disliked a book. They can be helpful, but they rarely provide a full and structured breakdown of key ideas. Our summaries are not opinions—they are carefully curated, precise extracts that save you hours of reading and help you apply the knowledge immediately.

💰 Can I just buy access to one book instead of paying for a subscription every month?

No. A subscription is more cost-effective: full access to the entire catalog, new summaries at no extra cost, the ability to explore different topics anytime, and a lower price than buying books individually.

📖 What if your summaries distort the meaning of a book? How can I trust their quality?

Our summaries are created by experts with at least two years of experience in their fields. They extract key ideas without distortion, ensuring the original meaning and value remain intact. We don’t just shorten the text—we make it structured and easy to understand.
