About Us

Libreflip is a project originating in Berlins oldest Hackerspace c-base.

Ijon has been building Bookscanners since 2011 and different members have joined in over time to help with their individual superpowers.

From the get-go Ijon dreamt of having a pageturning bookscanner that can turn any book automatically into an eBook. The first proof of concept was made in 2011, but for several reasons Ijon gave up on this project. In 2016 the project was revived and is now on track to be finished soon.

Crafted with simplicity
The machine is designed to be as simple as possible for you to build. If you’ve ever built a 3D-Printer, then building Libreflip will be a piece of cake!
Book Loving
We love physical Books, but sometimes, a digital book is more practical. Libreflip is very gentle to your precious Books.
Lightning Fast
We don’t know precisely how fast the scanning will be, but we are estimating about 1000 pages per hour
Touch User Interface
You control Libreflip with a 7″ Touchscreen and it has its own computer built in, which also does the postprocessing of the images.
