Blinkist Onboarding Redesign

As a user I always feel that on boarding plays an important role in getting the user comfortable with the app since it's the first time a user steps into the app.

While using Blinkist I was really intrigued by the Interface and the brand language the app was following. There was just one thing which was of order i.e. the on-boarding.
Their current on-boarding displays the user a video of a scrollable UI enclosed within a mobile frame making it difficult for the user to read and understand the text.

Thus, I designed an on-boarding which could solve their current problem making it easy to read and understand through metaphoric illustrations what Blinkist is all about.

Also, the question still remains :
Whether or not Onboarding is important to the user?
