A worn paperback copy of The New Digital Age lying on a dark table, with a phone beside it showing the same book open at page 254 in αBook.

Digital notes aren’t just for ebooks anymore.

The book stays paper. The note you made on page 254 is still there the next time you open it.

Ray Kurzweil

“Technology is the continuation of evolution by other means, and is itself an evolutionary process.”

Your book has a history, too.

Attach an "αBook" label on a copy and it keeps its own story — where it has been, and who has read it. Only if you want one.
