Why BookTracer exists

A reader's assistant, not a generic “buy now” page.

BookTracer is designed to help people identify hard-to-find books and then choose how they want to read or own them. It should be useful, transparent, personal and sustainable — without hiding better answers or using dark patterns.

Prototype profile

What should BookTracer call you?

You can use a first name, nickname, “Book Dragon,” “Furry Kittie,” or nothing at all. You can change this anytime. Build 0.3 stores the demo profile only in this browser.

Build 0.3 uses a local demo account so you can test sign-up, login, and returning-user behavior. Production will use secure authentication and a database.
