Bringing e-reader functionality to books made of paper, the Booke app helps users augment their reading experience. The app can be used while you're reading a paper-based book in order to search, copy and take notes on it.
The app works by storing a large database of books and their contents. While it doesn't allow you to access them digitally, you can use the database to execute functions. Things like searching for terms, copying text and making digital footnotes are possible. As a result, the app opens up a whole new dimension for your books.
Though e-readers already offer this functionality, traditional books still hold a certain look and feel that people love. Thus, Booke helps readers get the best of both worlds.
