CLUSTER BOOK-READER-TEXT · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-06-09

AI e-book readers

This cluster consists of e-book reader apps that integrate AI for summarization, translation, and Q&A, alongside text-to-speech, format import, and note-taking. Dated entries before index start span June 2015 to June 2026, with most appearing in the October–December 2025 window and an earlier isolated entry in 2015. Modureader leads traction with 21 stars, while both other named products show zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
