# Electronic Page Savers The eBookmark Uses Touchable Leds to Let You Know Where You Left Off By Michael Hines | Published 2013-10-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ebookmark References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2013/10/21/ebookmark-electronic-bookmark/) & [7electrons.tumblr](http://7electrons.tumblr.com/post/63377285324/7electrons-ebookmark-is-done-do-you-read-ebooks) The eBookmark was created for those who haven't yet abandoned paper books in favor of eBooks. This electronic bookmark features a touch interface that allows you to specify which paragraph and side you left off on. It was designed by the husband and wife team of Terry Burton and Jinna Kim. The eBookmark is powered by a Atmel 8-bit processor and uses flashing LED lights to let you know where you stopped reading. The bookmark was created to bridge the gap between [eBooks and paper books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorsoft), and the designers saw it as nothing more than a one-off work of art. That being said, there is apparently interest in a commercial run of the eBookmark, so don't be shocked if you find yourself ditching your [paper markers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) in favor of electronic ones sometime soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Electronic Page Savers:** Electronic bookmarks bridging the gap between eBooks and paper books using touchable LEDs. - **Paper to Digital Innovation:** Innovative tech solutions for paper book enthusiasts to embrace digital platforms in a user-friendly manner. - **Smart Reading Aids:** Integration of technology in traditional reading aids for efficient and seamless reading experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Publishing:** Innovation opportunities to create digital reading devices for bridging the gap between traditional and digital reading. - **Education:** Integration of electronic bookmarks in textbooks for students to easily track their progress and continue reading. - **Technology:** Incorporation of touch-sensitive LEDs in electronic bookmark devices for seamless and interactive reading experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folded Page Readers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualscreen-ereader.md) - [Convenient Book Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/android-book-light.md) - [Highlighter-Inspired Reading Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-highlighter.md) - [Electronic 3D Book Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbook.md) - [Bookmark Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easymark1.md) - [Hands-Free Page Turners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s30-remote.md) - [Reading Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe.md) - [Writing-Friendly Full-Color eReaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-kindle-scribe-colorsoft.md) - [E-Ink Display Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-reader.md)
