Description

BookTock shows a book cover on your Pebble Time 2 and swaps it for another one every so often. The covers come from Open Library, which has covers for old and new books.

Tap the watch to flip the cover over and read the blurb and rating. Tap again to page through, and once more to flip back.

You set it up from the phone:
- A subject, language, and minimum rating, so you get books you'd actually pick up
- How often the cover changes — anywhere from a minute to an hour (less often uses less battery)
- Five clock sizes, stacked or split, 12- or 24-hour
- A light or dark blurb card
- How the cover sits on screen: fill, matched border, bars, or stretched

The phone does the fetching, decoding and dithering; the watch just shows the result. If your phone is out of range it keeps the last cover until it's back.

Open Library is a free, non-profit project and runs on donations. If you get some use out of BookTock, consider giving them a hand: www.archive.org/donate?platform=ol&origin=booktock
