As a student I can safely say that I wish I had the Kuote Digital Reader right about now. The Kuote Digital Reader is a conceptual gadget designed to share and store text from books.
Kuote is compact and easy to use. Simply hold the device over a section of text and wait for it to appear onscreen. Using the small scroll wheel, move the cursor to the section you want to highlight. When you reach the point you want to commit to save, drag your fingers over the words and watch them become digitally highlighted. After the text has been highlighted you can either save it in a cloud memory bank or share it using Facebook and Twitter. The Kuote Digital Reader could very well revolutionize the way people study. Here's hoping it goes from concept to reality before the end of next semester.
