BookVitals (www.bookvitals.com), the application dedicated to non-fiction literature readers, received an investment of EUR 475,000.

BookVitals proposes a generous idea: remember what you read, organize your thoughts, and bring to one place the quotes and ideas that marked you, whether they come from electronic books or classic books printed on paper.

The application allows readers to convert the image of a book’s pages into text, transforming the reading experience, making it easy to make notes and collect quotes. These quotes become indexable, searchable, annotated and distributed on social networks or other digital channels. Imagine all the things you can do with a digital book now possible with a printed book, according to BookVitals representatives.

The BookVitals team prepares to launch a new version of the mobile application, enhanced with more functionality and which will provide a superior user experience. Also, the team is working on an important re-branding that better communicates the company’s values ​​and mission.

“We are very happy to have them on our mission to improve the way people read, the Early Game Ventures and the Angels Group. Our investors have shown us a phenomenal trust, I resounded from the first discussion of values ​​and I am sure they will continue to be alongside us throughout the complicated process of building a global company, “says Laurentiu Balasa, CEO of BookVitals.
