THE PROBLEM

The book sits on the shelf.
You meant to finish it.

01
"I pick up my phone instead before I finish the first chapter."

Single purpose. No apps. No way to get distracted.

02
"Scanning across a full page of text exhausts me before I even start."

No scanning. No page. Just the next word on a single line.

03
"I read slow, lose interest, and never absorb what I just read anyway."

RSVP reading forces the words in. Adjustable speed, better retention.

FAQ

Good questions.

A pocket-sized reading device built on the ESP32-S3 with a 3.49" touch display. It shows your book one word, one line — no full pages, no distractions, no phone.

Anyone who buys books but never finishes them. Especially people with ADHD, dyslexia, or anyone who loses focus reading on a phone or tablet. If you've got a pile of unread books — this is for you.

Connect Bookie to your computer via USB-C and drop in EPUB or TXT files. No app needed, no account, no subscription.

No. Once your books are loaded you never need a connection. It's a single-purpose device — that's the whole point.

We're targeting end of August 2026, possibly earlier depending on Kickstarter support. Everyone on the waitlist gets notified first.

Void Black, Aged Cream, and Cold Stone. All three will be available at launch.

98.5 × 34.8 × 22.8mm — about the size of a Zippo lighter. It fits in any pocket.
