Rebind is an e-reading experience like no other. Rebind makes it possible to read a great book with the most remarkable person you could imagine reading with. Rebind editions of classic texts are infused at pivotal moments with the original commentary of Rebinders, who serve as passionate experts, guides, and companions as you read. To begin, you have the opportunity to watch short films that orient and prepare you for the reading journey ahead; then, more radically, you’ll experience interactive book-club-style conversations that bring the Rebinders’ commentary to life.

Think of Rebind as a mindfulness app for deep reading, guided by the world’s most interesting people. Rebind challenges you to engage with a book in a whole new way.

Rebind records original commentary from extensive 1:1 interviews with each expert, and then uses AI to distribute that commentary into interactive conversations that you can experience in our web-based e-reader. Think of it as AI-chat enhanced with original, expert content. Rebind uses AI to find the intersection between your own reading of a text and the commentator’s deeply personal interpretations for a more authentic AI experience.

Rebind is the antidote to the superficial reading we all find ourselves inundated with. We all know what it’s like to read a book while absorbing very little of it and, on the other hand, we know the feeling of connecting to a great book and absorbing the richness of each and every word. Rebind is all about facilitating the latter. When you read deeper, ask questions, and write down your own thoughts, a book will be written in your heart for the rest of your life.

Rebinders help you find or recapture the joy of reading. These commentators are among the most talented and influential voices in the world. Rebinders are authors, actors, educators, and philosophers—united by a passion for books and a commitment to sharing their favorites with you.

Prepare to read each section by viewing original films in which the Rebinder shares personal anecdotes, historical context, and reflections. Then, take time to read, highlight and react to passages that you love or that confuse you. At the end of each section, you’ll enter into an AI-driven discussion with the Rebinder’s commentary that they’ve provided for that specific section. Think of it as a space to bounce your ideas off those of the Rebinder, to take in the Rebinder's insights while deepening your own, and to write about how the book connects or departs from your personal beliefs and experiences.

It all starts with real life conversations. In an extensive interviewing process, we ask Rebinders everything you could possibly imagine about a book and why they love it—from helpful historical context to what they imagine a character to be thinking.

Until now, this kind of informal discussion has been impossible to share with general readers. But with AI we can find the most relevant parts of our interview to meet you where you are and to use generative AI to connect your thoughts to the Rebinder’s and vice versa. Think of it as bouncing ideas off one another.
