Sol Reader

Sol is a reading technology company based in San Francisco, making tools designed to illuminate the mind. Its first product, the Sol Reader, is a wearable e-reader: a pair of lightweight glasses that display text and shut out the rest of the world, built to be completely distraction-free so readers can escape notifications and doomscrolling.

The device offers adjustable focus, magnified words and around 25 hours of battery life, with a handheld remote for turning pages. Readers can buy titles in the Sol Store, stream their existing Kindle library, upload DRM-free EPUB files or subscribe to newsletters, while the Sol app syncs content over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Modes include an assistant that answers questions about the book and an AutoPilot for speed reading.
