The Problem

The Dreaded
"Wait... Who Is That?" Moment

You are 200 pages into a great book. Suddenly, a name or a place pops up from chapter one, and your mind goes completely blank.

Now you are stuck with two bad options:

  • Stop and Search: You flip back through hundreds of pages, completely breaking your focus and ruining the flow of the story.
  • Keep Reading and Hope: Flip back through chapters, breaking your immersion and losing your flow.

Before long, keeping track of everything makes reading feel like studying for an exam. You might even put down a book you actually like, just because it takes too much effort to follow.

Reading shouldn’t feel like homework.
