Graphite

The Bookhoover Graphite is equipped with a graphite tip. This consists of a special graphite and clay mixture that ensures a smooth and even writing experience.

These tips are extremely durable and, unlike conventional pencils, do not need to be constantly sharpened. Nevertheless, we include 5 tips so that you can write down all your thoughts while reading.

The use of replaceable graphite tips drastically reduces the consumption of wood and other materials. This makes the permanent pencil an environmentally friendly alternative.

All Bookhoover variants are symmetrical and can be placed on either the left or right index finger to actively read and guide the eyes through the text.

Tip: Switch the Bookhoover to the non-dominant hand from time to time, read and write with this hand to challenge and train the brain anew.

Although it is natural to use the finger to focus on a text, as children do, this can be a hindrance as the finger is short and thick and covers too much text.

A longer object with a thin tip allows a wider field of view and offers a greater range of movement.

E-book reader Note: Here the finger would activate the screen.

The pen or similar must be actively held, which leads to constant strain on the hand muscles and the entire forearm. You will easily recognize the cramping of the hand and forearm when "holding the pen in the tweezer grip".

You also lose the ability of "natural finger movement" from the finger ball joint with a pen.

The Bookhoover as an eye guide combines the comfort and naturalness of your own finger by avoiding any kind of cramping, yet still offering the range of movement of a pen or a pointer.

Bookhoover® Graphite: The pencil tip can be unscrewed as a unit and replaced with a new one.

Bookhoover® Ink: The ballpoint pen pen unit can be unscrewed and fitted with a new refill.

Bookhoover® Stylus: Here, only the front tip is replaced after wear and tear. You can do this with the enclosed pliers.

Important: The pen variants and pen units are not interchangeable .

Info: The Bookhoover® Flow and the Bookhoover® Booky do not have an integrated pen.

Yes, the type of text lines you guide your eyes through is independent of the display. (classic books, printouts, eBooks on tablets or e-readers, newspapers, magazines, etc.) The pointing cap (pacer) is functionally the same for all Bookhoover variants.

The book cover is 3D printed from biocompatible PA12. We then insert the respective pen refills by hand to complete the reading tool. Thanks to state-of-the-art additive manufacturing, a completely new haptic product experience can be created.

The Bookhoover is produced using innovative 3D printing technology, the multi-jet fusion process. This allows its special filigree design and the flexible finger holder to be reproduced from just one material. It also allows a completely new haptic product experience to be created.

The 3D printed base bodies are then carefully assembled by hand with the respective pen unit.

Because you wished for it.

The Bookhoover Flow is a customer request and is based on your feedback.
As a light reading aid, the Flow is purely for guided reading to actively guide the eyes through the lines of text and benefit from the increased focus.

The same applies to the Bookhoover Booky. Satisfied users have already requested a smaller version as a reading aid for their children. This is precisely where the advantage of guided reading becomes apparent, in order to direct the attention of beginning readers and combine it in a playful way.
