BOOK

        

 

 

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.



                BOOK never crashes or requires rebooting, though, like

other devices, it can become damaged if coffee is spilled on it and it

becomes unusable if dropped too many times on a hard surface. 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 pin-points 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 limited only

by the number of pages in the BOOK. You can also make personal notes

next to BOOK text entries with optional programming tools, Portable

Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Styli (PENCILS).



        Portable, durable, and affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a

precursor of a new entertainment wave. BOOK's 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.
