Give your paperback an interactive companion
To add an interactive companion to a paperback, upload the same manuscript to Truberri and print a QR code or access code in the book. Readers scan it, unlock the interactive edition in the free Truberri app and do the exercises on their phone.

Why a companion helps print readers
Some readers love writing in the margins. Many don't: the space is too small, they're reading a library copy, or they want to keep the book clean. A companion gives them somewhere to answer, and gives you the first view of how print readers use your exercises.
How to set it up
- Upload your manuscript and confirm the interactive questions.
- Create access codes or a link for the book and turn it into a QR code.
- Add the QR code and a line like "Do the exercises on your phone" to the front matter or each chapter opener.
- Readers scan, sign in once, and the book is in their library on every device.
Private by default
- Authors see patterns, not people: totals, percentages, averages and themes.
- No summary of written answers appears until at least 5 readers have answered.
- Readers own their answers and can see, edit, export and delete them.
- Data is stored in the UK, never sold, and there are no ads.
Questions, answered
- Can one code work for every copy?
- Yes. You can use one shared code or link for every printed copy, or generate individual codes, for example for a limited edition or a bulk sale.
- Do readers have to pay again?
- Not if you share it by code or link. The reader app is free and the companion is free unless you choose to sell it.
- Can I add this to a book that's already printed?
- Yes. Put the link or QR code on your website, in an email to readers or on an insert, and add it to the next print run.
