The bookmark I'm using at the moment is a cut off piece of cereal box. My last one, which still had a hint of scent from the contents, was from a Jaffa Cake box (people from the UK will know that smell).

I suppose that means I've been reading ineffectively all this time. Good job that reading is a new-fangled thing founded maybe fifteen, twenty years ago, so I think I can be forgiven for doing it wrong.

I never thought I'd have cause to mention Jaffa Cakes in relation to a Toms Hardware article...

Kree, Jaffa.

I won't totally discount this product, maybe it will be a game changer for somebody who spends thousands on books, but I do all my reading on computer screens or tablets.

Any jokes aside, I would have killed for something like this in college. Have AI "read" a page, summarize it, and be able to essentially generate endless numbers of flashcards to test me on the content.

This isn't reading.

Keep this AI garbage out of my favorite hobby, holy cow...

Besides, this once again infringes copyright since you aren't allowed to copy books, or upload them to a retrieval system, OR hack them into AI. Why is that so hard to understand for some? Why does EVERYTHING nowadays have to involve AI? Are we really already this mentally degenerated, as a species, to need this garbage?
