Reading is also a process to be enjoyed

Then, there was this enterprise which sells 15~minute~read ebooks that are condensed from the original books. Today, there are companies that sell 10~minute-read posters and infographics that are one~page summaries of the originals.


People want to get as much from as many books in as little time as possible. Another manifestation of the 21st century fast~food mentality.
