Bookhoover®

All Bookhoover variants are symmetrical and can be placed on both the left and right index finger to read actively and guide your eyes through the text.

Tip: From time to time, switch the Bookhoover to your non-dominant hand, read and write with it to challenge and train your brain in a new way.

While it is natural to use a finger to focus on text, as children do, this can be a hindrance as the finger is short and thick and covers too much text.

A longer object with a thin tip allows for a larger field of vision and offers a greater range of motion.

E-reader note: Here, the finger would activate the screen.

The pen or similar object must be actively held, leading to constant strain on the hand muscles and the entire forearm. You will easily recognize the cramping of the hand and forearm when "holding a pen in a pinch grip."

Furthermore, with a pen, you lose the ability of "natural finger movement" from the finger joint.

The Bookhoover as an eye guide combines the comfort and naturalness of your own finger, avoiding any kind of cramping, yet offering the range of motion of a pen or a pointer.

Yes. The type of text lines you guide your eyes through is independent of the display method. (classic books, printouts, eBooks on tablets or e-readers, newspapers, magazines, etc.) The pointing cap (pacer) is functionally the same across all Bookhoover variants.

The Bookhoover Flow is 3D printed from biocompatible PA12. This material is also used in the production of prosthetics and generally in the medical field, making it safe. Thanks to state-of-the-art additive manufacturing, a completely new haptic product experience can be created.

The Bookhoover is manufactured using innovative 3D printing technology, the Multi-Jet Fusion process. This allows for its particularly delicate design and flexible finger holder to be created from a single material. It also enables the creation of a completely new haptic product experience.

Subsequently, the 3D-printed basic bodies are carefully assembled by hand with their respective pen units.

Because you asked for it.

The Bookhoover Flow is a customer request and based on your feedback.
As a lightweight reading aid, the Flow serves purely for guided reading, actively guiding the eyes through the lines of text and benefiting from increased focus.

The same applies to the Bookhoover Booky. Already satisfied users wanted a smaller version as a reading aid for their children. This is precisely where the advantage of guided reading becomes apparent, guiding the attention of budding readers and combining it playfully.

Bookhoover® Graphite: The pencil tip can be unscrewed as a single unit and replaced with a new one.

Bookhoover® Ink: The pen unit can be unscrewed and fitted with a new refill.

Bookhoover® Stylus: Only the front tip is replaced after wear and tear. You can do this with the included pliers.

Important: The pen variants and pen units are not interchangeable.

Info: The Bookhoover® Flow and the Bookhoover® Booky do not have an integrated pen.
