> Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organised 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 is 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.
>
> BOOK never crashes or requires rebooting, though like other display
devices it can become unusable if dropped overboard. 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 any
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 BOOK markers can be used
in a single BOOK, if the user wants to store numerous views at once. The
number is only limited by the number of sheets in the BOOK.
>
> Personal notes next to BOOK text entries can be made with an optional
programming tool, the Portable Erasible Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language
Stylus (PENCILS).
>
> Portable, durable, affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a precursor of a
new entertainment wave.
>
> BOOKs appeal seems so certain that thousands of content creators have
committed to the platform and investors are reportedly flocking to invest. Look
for a flood of new titles soon.
