Exbiblio bridges the divide between the physical and digital form of documents through the simple realization that sequences of words are highly unique.

At Exbiblio, we are working to transform the way readers interact with the written word by making printed text richly interactive, and by building knowledge and communities around books, magazines, newspapers, and other printed publications.
