An e-reader for VR headsets. Pages sharp as print, floating right where you want them, in seventeen worlds you can disappear into.
Coming soon to the Meta Horizon Store.
This is the actual reading setup — your book floating between the two control panels you use in the headset. Change the world, the paper, the typeface, the light. Click the right edge of the page to turn it. Click any word for its definition, just like pointing at it in VR.
In the headset, this is life-size and all around you.
Stretch a page until it towers over you, then study the linework — the hatching, the halftone, the brushstrokes the artist meant you to see. No pinching at a phone screen. You walk up to it, or reach out and pull it close.
CBZ and CBR, page by page or as a full two-page spread. Seven panel themes to frame them in.
Seventeen hand-picked worlds wrap around your book — or switch them all off and read in passthrough, right in your own room.

TRANQUILITYAll seventeen — drag, scroll, or use the arrows.
Your books land in this rotunda with their real covers, flying in from the stacks. Sort by what you read last, jump by letter, search as you type — or browse ninety-six free classics and pull them straight onto your shelf.
Everything in HoverTome exists to get out of the way of a good book. No accounts, no feeds, no clutter — just the page.
Text stays razor sharp at reading distance — no blur, no shimmer, none of that fuzzy VR look. You forget you're wearing a headset.
Point at a word, pull the trigger, and the definition floats up next to your book. No internet needed — the whole dictionary comes along.
Eleven typefaces, six paper colors, and your choice of text size, spacing, and margins — until it feels like your book.
Grab the page and put it anywhere — closer, farther, higher, lower. Sitting, sprawled on the couch, or flat on your back in bed.
Stretch a page until it towers over you and step close to study the linework — every brushstroke, every bit of hatching the artist meant you to see. Or open a two-page spread and take in the whole scene at once.
Your page, your bookmarks, your settings — all there when you come back, whether that's in an hour or a month.
Grab books from anywhere on your headset or drop them over a cable. Kindle-style MOBI files and comic archives convert themselves the moment they arrive.
