Is this real? This feels like a parody of a product aimed at a straw man generation so addicted to tiktok that they can't possibly read anything longer than a few words at a time.

Fair, thank you. It’s meant to meet people where they are. The swipe habit and fried attention already exist, so this puts a book in that format to help someone start reading on their own and find self guided learning entertaining. There’s a normal page view if the swipe is not needed. I’d say reading one or two lines at a time is better than most tiktok feeds.
