The "Knowledge Archive" is a tool for the avid reader. It is an interactive device for aggregating literature, blog feeds and news content to provide a space for reflective reading. In this space, reading becomes equally important to active reflection.
As you browse through content, you may create another level of meaning by writing marginalia and cataloguing inspirational excerpts; meanwhile, the Knowledge Archive dynamically creates a constellation of your reading history and personal thoughts. The e-Reader Interface may even reshape the user's reading habits by giving them the opportunity to contribute their point of view.
With the added function of specific Applications, the reader may choose particular modes of organizing and revisiting their catalogued information. For instance, one may choose to drag a series of inspirational text, imagery and margin notes into their "Inspiration Application Bucket". Within the application, the collection is given a cohesive space where users can draw connections and reflect upon their personal reading history.
