Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge
device, trade named: BOOK
BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough
in
technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no
batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on.
It's so easy to use, even a child can operate it.
Compact and
portable, it can be used anywhere --
even sitting in an armchair by the fire -- yet it is
powerful enough to hold as much
information as a
CD-ROM disc. Here's how it works:
BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered
sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of
holding thousands of bits of information. The pages
are locked together with a custom-fit device called
a binder, which keeps the sheets in their correct
sequence.
Opaque Paper Technology (OPT) allows manufacturers
to use both sides of the sheet, doubling the
information density and cutting costs. Experts are
divided on the prospects for further increases in
information density; for now, BOOKs with more
information simply use more pages.
Each sheet is scanned optically, registering
information directly into your brain. A flick of the
finger takes you to the next sheet. BOOK may be
taken up at any time and used merely by opening it.
Unlike other display devices, BOOK never crashes
or requires rebooting, and it can even be dropped on
the floor or stepped on without damage. However, it
can become unusable if immersed in water for a
significant period of time. The
browse feature
allows you to move instantly to any sheet and move
forward or backward as you wish. Many come with an
index feature, which pinpoints the exact location
of selected information for instant retrieval.
An optional BOOKmark accessory allows you to
open BOOK to the exact place you left it in a
previous session -- even if the BOOK has been
closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards;
thus, a single BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by
various manufacturers. Conversely, numerous
BOOKmarkers can be used in a single BOOK if the user
wants to store numerous views at once. The number is
limited only by the number of pages in the BOOK.
You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text
entries with an optional programming tool, the
Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication
Language Stylus (PENCILS).
Portable, durable, and affordable, BOOK is being
hailed as a precursor of a new entertainment wave.
Also, BOOK's appeal seems so certain that thousands
of content creators have committed to the platform
and investors are reportedly flocking. Look for a
flood of new titles soon.
