So that reading
goes better.
A reading gadget.
Worn directly on your finger, this reading aid guides your eyes through the lines of text to improve the reading experience.
More efficient reading.
To actively guide your eyes through the lines of text to gain more focus, concentration and speed.
Lack of focus, lack of attention, distraction and tiredness.
When we read, our eyes do not glide smoothly through the text, but jump from word to word and backwards in the text or slip in the line.
Too many unnecessary movements cause the eye muscles to tire prematurely.
This is the reason why focus and concentration wane and you are quickly distracted.
Biological stimulus and active reading.
Your eyes are attracted to movement and
automatically follow a "pointer".
This increases your concentration, your attention is focused and you are less distracted.
Reading becomes more active.
The interplay of eye and hand movement further increases focus and reading flow, as several senses are now involved in the reading process.
By consciously leading faster, you can set a faster reading pace. Words are grasped more quickly and internal babbling is reduced.

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 a tweezer grip".
You also lose the ability to move your fingers "naturally" from the ball and socket joint when using 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.
The Bookhoover is produced using innovative 3D printing technology, the multi-jet fusion process.
This allows its special filigree design and flexible finger holder to be reproduced from just one material.

Faces behind
The brains behind Bookhoover® are Mana and Daniel from Cologne. In a speed reading course, they learned that you can actually read faster and more concentrated with the right methods.
As an engineer and tinkerer, Daniel couldn't resist developing the first reading tool that increases focus while reading. Thanks to Mana's knack for design and eye for detail, the idea could be realized.
Look forward to more focus and distraction-free, better reading!
You can test the Bookhoover for 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you get your money back!

Our customers say it best
Nachdem ich skeptisch den Flow bestellt habe, war ich innerhalb weniger Minuten mehr als begeistert als er ankam. Lesen machte mir schon. Immer sehr viel Spaß. Aber durch eine Krankheit fiel es mir zunehmend schwer konzentriert lesen zu können und vor allem das Gelesene zu merken. Dadurch war es immer etwas frustrierend. Nun aber lese ich wieder wie zu Zeiten vor der Krankheit meine Bücher binnen kürzester Zeit und voller Freude. Man könnte sagen, dank dem Flow bin ich zu einem absoluten Booknerd geworden und lese monatlich wieder meine 5-8 Bücher 📚 Danke euch für das tolle Geschenk wieder Freude an Büchern haben zu können! Mein Flow hat nun immer einen festen Platz in meiner Ecke. Weiterhin viel Erfolg!
I came across an ad for Bookhoover by chance. After some initial skepticism, I read through it and watched some videos. And then I remembered that in the past, when I wanted or needed to read texts quickly, I often used aids such as fingers, rulers or bookmarks.
So it was clear to me that I wanted to try out the Bookhoover Flow.
Not only does it look great, but it actually helps me to concentrate and read faster.
The only thing I need now are spring-like colors. Maybe they'll be here soon?
Otherwise a great product
Very good and helpful gadget.
Never thought it would make reading faster and more relaxed, but it works. Still at the beginning, practicing hard. Can only recommend the Bookhover! Thanks to Mana and Daniel.
The Bookhover really does make reading faster. In the long run, however, it becomes a bit uncomfortable, as no air can reach the underside of the finger and a slight shrinkage appears on the fingertip. I also think it's a bit of a shame that the Hoover has become €4 more expensive in a very short space of time.
Dear Sandra,
Thank you for your review!
We are pleased that you can read faster with the Bookhoover. Your feedback is very valuable to us, as this is the only way we can improve. We will take up your point about the low ventilation and work on it. Our prices have actually increased slightly at the moment, as we regularly have to rethink our calculations as a start-up, partly due to rising material costs. Nevertheless, we are very pleased that you have shared your opinion with us and hope that you enjoy the reading friend!
Best regards, Mana from Bookhoover
Much more relaxed and faster reading .
Still unanswered questions?
We are a young start-up and manufacture every Bookhoover® ourselves, depending on the version ordered. Design, 3D printing, post-processing, painting, assembly, packaging and shipping - all steps take time and are largely carried out by us as a small team in Cologne.
We would like to share the Bookhoover® with you and would be pleased if you understand the longer delivery time.
Thank you for your patience and support. You will soon have your Bookhoover® at home, because anticipation is still the greatest joy.
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.
The 3D printed base bodies are then carefully assembled by hand with the respective pen unit.
Yep,
what kind of text lines you lead your eyes through is independent of the presentation. (classic books, printouts, eBooks on tablets or e-readers, newspaper, magazine, etc.) The pointing cap (pacer) is functionally the same for all Bookhoover® variants.
The tip of the pacer acts as a visual guide without activating the surface of the e-reader or tablet as a finger would. Thus, the Bookhoover® is even very well suited for this purpose.
All Bookhoover and Booky 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.

You can choose between SMALL, MEDIUM and LARGE .
Please measure the circumference of your index finger at the top joint (see orange measuring tape):
If the circumference is smaller than 4.7 cm, please choose SMALL.
If it is larger than 5.2 cm, please choose LARGE.
For all index finger circumferences in between(4.7 cm to 5.2 cm), please choose MEDIUM.
Tip:
If you don't have a flexible tape measure, you can simply take a piece of string, shoelace or cord, place it around the joint and then read off the length in centimeters using a ruler, protractor or folding rule.
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 or pen units are not interchangeable.
Info: The Bookhoover® Flow and the Bookhoover® Booky do not have an integrated pen
Because you asked 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.
