How it's used
Focuses on the breadth of consumption rather than the depth of understanding. While often associated with reading books, it is increasingly used to describe someone who keeps up with a vast range of media, news, or internet content. It carries a slightly formal or intellectual tone compared to just saying 睇好多嘢.
Examples
He really likes to read widely in his spare time.
You consume such a wide variety of information, do you have any good recommendations?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 博覽會, which is a noun meaning an exhibition or expo. Using the verb 博覽 to describe visiting a trade show is incorrect.
