Your physical books, extended into immersive digital
Give your readers the digital version of your titles, unlocked by an anti-fraud NFC + QR proof of purchase. A new channel, without cannibalizing your print sales, with real activation tracking.
A digital channel that adds value to your catalog
Extend print
Every physical copy carries an immersive digital access. Added value that sets your editions apart in bookstores.
Anti-fraud proof of purchase
Dual-factor NFC + QR sticker: without physically owning the book, no access to the digital version. Zero tolerance for sharing.
Real activations
Dashboard: activated codes and usage rate, by title and by batch. Real figures, not estimates.
Without cannibalizing your sales
Digital access is a bonus tied to the physical purchase: the price of your book doesn't change, and both channels coexist.
Your authors' text stays intact
Immersion is a reading layer, not an adaptation of the work.
Not a word changed
The EPUB file is delivered as is. Our proprietary synchronization algorithm infers intensity settings from it, without rewriting or adding anything.
100% local computation
Synchronization is computed on the reader's phone. The text is not sent to our servers for this analysis, nor shared with third parties.
No AI on your texts
Your titles are never used to train an AI model, and Ember Read generates no text from them: no summary, no sequel, no rewrite.
From EPUB file to reader, in 5 steps
You provide the EPUB
We import your title and compute a unique fingerprint that identifies it in the catalog.
Code generation
You order a batch of 10 to 50,000 unique, cryptographically secured codes, linked to your book.
NFC + QR stickers
A scratch-off sticker (QR) + NFC chip is manufactured, then placed in each copy.
The reader unlocks
They scratch and scan the QR to reserve the book, then hold their phone near the NFC to unlock it.
Activation tracking
You see in real time the codes actually activated by your readers.
A simple model
You buy the codes, we show you what is really activated.
You buy a batch of codes
You buy your book's codes by the batch and slip them into your copies, with an NFC + QR sticker.
- Volume-based tiered pricing
- Multiple batches possible for the same title (successive print runs)
- The price of your book doesn't change: digital accompanies the print copy
You see what gets activated
We show you the codes actually activated by your readers, by title and by batch.
- Activated codes and usage rate
- NFC + QR stickers manufactured according to the volume ordered
- Immersion is bought separately in the app (credits or Infinite Pass)
Do you publish digitally? Your ebooks follow the same model as our authors, direct sale with access codes or sale on Ember Read, with a specific agreement negotiated together, in writing. See the plans

Request accessWhat you need to know
Will digital cannibalize my print sales?
No. Digital access is unlocked by the physical purchase itself (NFC + QR). It's a bonus that adds value to the print book, not a substitute.
How is the system anti-fraud?
Dual-factor: the QR reserves the book, but only the NFC scan, which requires physical possession, unlocks the download. A photo of the QR is not enough.
How many codes can I order?
From 10 to 50,000 codes per batch, with the option of multiple batches for the same title (successive print runs).
Is our authors' text modified?
No. The EPUB is delivered as is and synchronization is computed on the reader's phone. No text is generated, and your titles are never used to train an AI.
How does billing work?
You buy a batch of codes, at a tiered price based on volume, plus the cost of the stickers. You then sell your books as usual, at the price you set, and the dashboard shows you the codes actually activated.
What does the reader get with the code?
The digital version of the book, in the Ember Read app. Immersion, synchronization with a connected intimate object, is bought separately in the app, with credits or the Infinite Pass.
