The Fingerprint Bookmark Indicates the Precise Line Where You Stopped Reading

— September 19, 2013 — Art & Design
Let's say that you're reading one of those can't-put-it-down novels and something really important has come up. When you do get back to that exciting bit in your book, wouldn't it be nice not to waste time trying to figure out where precisely you left off on that final page? The Fingerprint Bookmark includes a small hand-shaped indicator that you can point to the exact last line that you read.

Dreamed up by 25 To Go Design and sold by Fred & Friends, this page marker is a band that wraps around half of your hardcover or paperback and it will not be dislodged. If you're reading outdoors, the elastic silicone rubber material of the Fingerprint Bookmark will keep leaves tightly together to protect them from the wind.

2. Elastic Silicone Rubber Material - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore applications of the elastic silicone rubber material in other industries such as fashion, medical devices, or automotive to create flexible and durable products.
3. Pointing Page Savers - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create an AI-powered bookmark that can analyze reading habits and offer personalized suggestions or reminders based on the user's progress.
Industry Implications
