Like anyone who hates picking out new books, I absolutely love a good series. A lineup of three to five books off a single decision is just efficient. Yet, keeping storylines straight between installments isn’t always seamless. To that end, Kindle Recaps might be the most underrated tool on my e-reader. The feature quietly solves a very real problem for anyone who juggles long series, busy schedules, or a brain that just can’t keep every plot twist straight. Here are the three biggest reasons I’m hooked.
1. Convenience, plain and simple
Sure, I could Google a recap or hunt down a fan wiki. But the fact that Kindle’s new summaries live right on my e-ink device, literally alongside the book I’m diving into, is fantastic. When I’m tucked into bed ready to start a new book, I don’t want to hunt down my phone to Google the last book. If I do, I’ll end up answering texts or scrolling social media. I also needn’t worry that the synopsis will be riddled with spoilers for books I haven’t read yet (like the ones I find online).
