Book+

Book+ is a short-run, digital printing service for hardcover books, enhanced with exclusive digital content powered by NFC/RFID (Near-Field Communication) technology.

Enrich your publication with easily accessible digital content. A tiny NFC/RFID tag hidden seamlessly inside the cover—completely invisible to the reader—unlocks a whole new layer of digital materials that complement and expand your physical book. Accessing this content is effortless: readers simply tap their NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet against the cover. Most modern phones already have this feature built in (it’s the exact same technology used for contactless payments).

• Printed books unlock new value: Extra digital content makes your publications more engaging, competitive, and fully multimedia-ready.
• Dynamic updates: The digital layer can be created, updated, or modified at any time—even long after the book has been printed.
• Dedicated links: Each printed title connects to its own specific digital space.
• Total freedom: Publishers have complete control over managing and updating the associated digital materials.
• Instant access: Readers just tap their device against the book—no apps required!

Readers gain instant, tap-and-go access to digital content linked to the book. This can include:

• Informational content: Links to the publisher’s full catalogue, related new releases, or book reviews.
• Complementary media: Film soundtracks, music referenced in the story, or bonus audio and video clips.
• Educational materials: Extra multimedia files (available after registration), quizzes, tests, and interactive exercises.
• Academic resources: Bibliographies, scientific databases, and extended reference materials.
• Promotional offers: Discount codes, cross-selling deals, links to audiobook or e-book versions, or even free/discounted tickets to related cultural events.
• Organisational tools: Features allowing readers to build their own personal library records.

An NFC/RFID-equipped book becomes a modern, multimedia hub of information. Beyond the reader experience, it provides publishers with powerful new tools:

• Digital authentication: Verify the originality and legality of every single copy.
• Streamlined logistics: Contactless identification supports automated distribution, tracking, and fast processing of returns.
• Full content control: Easily manage all digital assets tied to your publications.
• Valuable reader insights: Link to surveys and questionnaires to gather direct feedback, understand reading preferences, and test market expectations.
• Document security: Embed encrypted digital signatures for high-level security.
• Faster cataloguing: Quick and seamless identification for libraries and reading rooms.
