How it works
It starts with a conversation about what you read.
Not a genre checkbox. Rebook asks what you loved, what bored you, what you are avoiding, and what you want reading to do for you right now. Everything below is the real thing — try it.
Tell us what you actually read
This is the real onboarding questionnaire, running live. In the app your answers become a structured brief that the curation model reads — the more specific you are, the sharper the result.
Answer at least 4 sections to start — 4 of 8 answered. The more you share, the sharper the curation.

Say what you want reading to do for you
Goals shape the curation as much as genre does. Someone reading for stress management gets a different shelf from someone reading for specialised learning — even with identical taste.
Logical analysis
Reading nonfiction or complex texts can improve your ability to spot logical fallacies and analyze arguments, estimated improvements of 10–25% in critical thinking tests if done consistently over a year.
Creative thinking
Creative writing or brainstorming studies note that participants who read widely (especially across genres) show higher average idea-generation metrics—5–15% more unique ideas or solutions in group tasks.
Emotional clarity
Especially with literary or psychological texts, some readers show an increased ability to identify and name nuanced emotions—alexithymia (difficulty in naming feelings) can improve by a few percentage points with deliberate reading.
Specialised learning
Reading diverse books—biographies, historical novels, or science texts—can lead to measurable increases in domain-specific knowledge tests (some studies show 5–15% improvement after finishing a related book).
Self improvement
“Bibliotherapy”—reading targeted self-help or fiction—has been shown in some clinical trials to aid in managing mild to moderate depression and anxiety, sometimes improving mood metrics by 10–30% over a few months.
Theory of mind
Reading fiction, particularly literary fiction, has been linked to improvements in Theory of Mind—the ability to understand others’ feelings and perspectives—by an average of 10–15% on standardized tests like the “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” task (Mar et al., Kidd & Castano).
Sleep quality
Nighttime reading (on paper rather than screens) is associated with higher self-reported sleep quality. Some small studies suggest it could cut time-to-fall-asleep by 5–20% compared to non-readers.
Stress management
Reading a physically relaxing book (like gentle fiction) can lower heart rate by an average of 3–8 BPM and systolic blood pressure by 2–4 points.
Attention span
With consistent reading (especially longer sessions), attention span can expand. People who push their reading beyond 15 minutes daily can increase their “focused reading stamina” by 10–30% over a few months, per anecdotal and self-reported data in reading communities.
