Tinku — A talking picture book for curious kids

A Tinku device showing a real illustrated page: a curly-haired child sleeping, with an astronaut helmet and toy rocket nearby and a crescent moon out the window

4.2″ e-paper · 400 × 300

Illustrated pages, crisp on paper-like display

Every page is a full illustration on a 4.2-inch paper-like display — bold, clear, designed for e-paper. Your child sees a picture book, not a glowing screen. No blue light, no glare. Readable in sunlight, gentle at bedtime.

"The elephant uses its trunk to drink water, say hello, and give a big, big hug..."

Every page tells a story

High-quality audio narration on every page. Not just facts — stories, sound effects, songs, and questions that make kids think.

Months on a single charge

Charge it and forget it

E-paper uses almost no power. A single charge lasts months of daily play, and it tops up with any standard USB-C cable. No nightly charging ritual, no dead batteries mid-story.

The curated library

Beautiful on the paper-like display

A curated library of illustrated, narrated books — classic tales, early learning, quizzes and languages. Ready to play, right out of the box, and growing every week.
