Fuck it downvote me for having the wrong opinion but I am okay with this existing. Looking at the full feature list it has additional vocabulary learning tools and the reading level is scalable which might make this a hugely helpful tool for new or very young language learners.

CliffsNotes already exists, yes, but summaries are different from paraphrasing, and it is very hit or miss with the accuracy of its summaries which usually have terrible grammar and writing quality anyway, making it awful for most English learners’ applications.

Don’t like it? Don’t download it.

It's fine for nonfiction, but I don't see much point for contemporary fiction books. If it's not on your level, just something easier

I see what you mean, but sometimes you want a particular story, not just something on your level.
