Do you know someone that may read too much? Someone that may turn their nose up at the prospect of you reading anything to them aloud. Does this same person read at a speed that you envy?

This invention is for a software that you can discreetly store on your friends e-reader, ipad, tablet etc.. It will allow the user to edit or rewrite whole chapters of the books that your target is reading.

Maybe you want to teach someone an important lesson, or perhaps in a subtle/undetectable way suggest a particular course of action that you would like to see them pursue.

The ability to change the outcome of a story for one reader at a time may make you feel powerful.

There would be a basic version of this software that would allow you to effect one reader and there will be an advanced version that will allow you to effect many readers all at once.

       " read too much? " You mean to the point of forgetting to eat or drink water, like a wirehead ?   

       " turn their nose up at the prospect of you reading anything to them aloud " First date not go so well, [vfrackis] ?   

       " make you feel powerful " I regret that you feel so un-empowered.   

       Don't be messing with my text, man...the alternate universes do that enough already.   

       " teach someone an important lesson, or perhaps in a subtle/undetectable way suggest a particular course of action that you would like to see them pursue "   

       Well, the score on that one would all be dependent on a case by case motivational check.   

       For the basic version, (+), creeper as it is. For the advanced, you'll need to buffy up your writing skills.
