The Guide

Zoom out from the page.

One tap turns the chapter you’re in into a few key points, each tied to the line it comes from. Zoom out again for the book so far. In a story, what’s ahead stays hidden until you ask for it.

This chapter

Each section as a headline and a few key points. Tap a point for the sentence it comes from, then Go there. In non-fiction, Skim key lines tints the sentences that carry the chapter, in the author’s own words.

The book so far

One line for every chapter you’ve read, and a recap written when you ask, up to your page.

Where was I?

Your book waits at the top of the library. Back after three days or more, it opens on the book so far with the recap already on its way.

Wrap up

At the end of a chapter, Wrap up opens its guide with a quiz and flashcards at the top.

The Guide on a chapter of Relativity: the sections already read folded to their headlines, the reader’s section marked You’re here with its key points, and one point opened to the sentence it comes from, with Go there.
