For those who write

The complete writing system E-Paper has been missing

And write.And write.And write.

The whole manuscript, on E-Paper

Bookish built the first E-Paper-native document editor for writers.

E-Paper devices are built primarily for handwriting and reading, so their displays often lag behind a keyboard. Bookish developed a new technical approach to keyboard input that brings this delay down to near-instant response. This gives writers a typing experience uncommon on E-Paper devices, with the responsiveness they expect from a computer on a paper-like screen built for focus.

Footnotes and endnotes
Near-instant keyboard response

No laptop required.

From the first note to the finished manuscript

Supernote gives writers a quiet place to think by hand. Bookish extends that workspace across the rest of the writing process, so a writer can move from notes and early drafts to a properly formatted manuscript, all without touching a laptop.

The Bookish word processor supports long documents, instant keyboard input, footnotes and endnotes, academic styles (MLA, Chicago, and APA), and high-fidelity export to DOCX and PDF. Write, format, export, or print directly from the device. The folio holds the device and keyboard together, so the whole writing system travels as one object.

Organic Creativity

“I have to write to discover what I am doing.”
— Flannery O’Connor

A writer does not always begin with a finished thought. Often, the thought emerges through the work itself, then becomes clearer through revision. Bookish gives that discovery a quiet place to happen.

A Folio, Crafted for the Writer

The Bookish Folio is made for people who write. It is cut from genuine leather with its natural character left intact. With use, the leather darkens and develops a patina that only years of handling can create.

Each folio is cut and sewn by hand. We obsessed over the details: the thickness of the leather, the strength of the stand, the fit around the device, and the feel of the keyboard. The keyboard is included and secures directly into the folio, so everything you need is all in one place.

A writer’s dream, come true.

Everything you need to take a manuscript from the first word to the finished document, in one quiet place built for writing.
