Astropad introduces Bookcase, a novel accessory that converts a smartphone into a book-like device, resembling a Kindle. With Amazon holding 80% of the e-reader market, Bookcase offers an alternative without being an e-reader itself.

Priced at $50, dropping to $40 initially, the device includes a MagSafe mount compatible with iPhones and many Androids. An NFC chip inside activates a 'companion app' functioning as a digital bookshelf and managing Do Not Disturb on compatible phones.

Bookcase exemplifies Astropad's intriguing products that address unforeseen needs. Astropad, known for turning iPads into drawing tablets and displays, continues innovating with tech like their iPad drawing stand. Bookcase is set for release later this year.
