Description
Bookbeam — Send articles and YouTube video scripts to your e-reader
The web, read properly. Bookbeam converts any article or YouTube video into a clean reading experience: an ad-free, paginated EPUB delivered straight to your e-reader — in one click.
📖 WHY BOOKBEAM?
The web is full of great writing. But reading long articles on a laptop or phone is uncomfortable, distracting, and hard on your eyes. E-ink screens are perfect for long-form reading — but getting content onto them has always been clunky.
Bookbeam fixes that. Open any article, click the extension, and it appears on your device within seconds. No copy-pasting URLs. No email forwarding. No manual file transfers. Just click and read.
✨ WHAT IT DOES
▸ Converts any web article into a clean, ad-free EPUB
▸ Turns YouTube videos into readable transcripts — no other tool does this
▸ Delivers directly to your e-reader or cloud storage of choice
▸ Translates content into 30+ languages before sending
▸ Generates AI summaries of YouTube videos
▶️ YOUTUBE TRANSCRIPTS
YouTube contains thousands of hours of educational content — interviews, lectures, documentaries, tutorials. But watching requires your full attention and keeps you tied to a screen.
Bookbeam extracts the full transcript of any video and formats it as a proper document — with title, channel, and source URL preserved. Read at your own pace, highlight passages, and return to it later, just like a book. An optional AI summary adds a concise overview at the start.
🧹 CLEAN ARTICLE EXTRACTION
A typical article page is 30% content and 70% clutter — navigation, related posts, popups, ads, and cookie banners. Bookbeam strips all of it. What arrives on your device is just the article: headline, author, body text, and relevant images. Properly formatted, the way a book would look.
📬 DELIVERY
Bookbeam supports direct delivery to e-reader devices by email, automatic sync to cloud storage folders, and a 24-hour download link for manual transfer. Set up your preferred method once in Settings — every article you send goes straight there automatically.
🌍 TRANSLATION
Bookbeam can translate any article into your language before sending — Polish, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and 25+ more. Set your preferred language once and every article you send is translated automatically.
🚀 HOW IT WORKS
▸ Install Bookbeam and create a free account
▸ Set up your delivery method — takes 2 minutes
▸ Open any article or YouTube video
▸ Click the Bookbeam icon
▸ It arrives on your device
💰 PRICING
Bookbeam is free forever with a limit of 3 articles per day and download link delivery. Paid plans unlock direct e-reader delivery, cloud storage sync, and higher daily limits — starting at $4/month. Every new account includes a 7-day free trial of the full feature set, no credit card required.
🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY
Bookbeam only reads content from pages you explicitly send. It does not track your browsing history or collect data beyond what's needed to build your EPUB. Article content is processed transiently and not stored. Delivery credentials are encrypted and never shared.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
▸ Does it work with paywalled articles?
Bookbeam sends whatever is visible in your browser. If you're subscribed and can read the full article, it can be sent.
▸ How do I set up e-reader delivery?
Enter your device's email address in Settings → Delivery, then add deliver@bookbeam.tools as an approved sender in your device account settings.
▸ Does it work on any website?
It works on the vast majority of article pages — news, blogs, newsletters, Medium, Substack, Wikipedia, and more. It requires at least 150 words of readable text and doesn't work on homepages, feeds, or social media.
▸ Is the 7-day trial automatic?
Yes — no credit card needed. After the trial you move to the Free plan unless you upgrade.
▸ Do I need an account?
Yes. Signing up takes 30 seconds and is free forever — the trial starts automatically.
