Llebre

I enhance the eReader reading experience with a poetically-designed case that preserves the virtues of both old and new technology. I show how reading and writing merge and also present a new kind of book collecting.

I talk about the sensory experience of traditional reading and writing while taking advantage of today's technology to optimise the physical space occupied by large book collections.

I soften the appearance of technology through two different ebook sleeves: Llebre Llibre, which represents a collection of eBooks in a sleeve that looks like a physical book; and Llebre Llibreta, which represents a notebook. Both have a replaceable notebook and a pencil inside to take notes, draw, make diagrams... I defend non-linear thinking and the tangibility of information, because information without emotion cannot be retained, and if we can't remember it, why do we read?
