B.O.O.K
Introducing a new idea in compact information transportation:
the Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device, trade-marked, 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 a 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 (recyclable) paper, 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 additional pages. Each sheet
is scanned optically by your eyes, registering information directly
into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next
sheet.
BOOK may be used at any time merely by opening it. There
is no lengthy "boot up." BOOK never crashes
or requires rebooting, though, like other devices, it may be
damaged if coffee is spilled on it, but it remains usable even
if dropped 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 pinpoints the exact location of any selected information
for instant retrieval.
An optional "BOOKMARK" accessory allows you
to open your 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 many different BOOKs, even
if made by different manufacturers! Conversely, numerous BOOKMARKs
can be used in a single BOOK if the user wants to store
multiple access points. The number is limited only by the number
of pages in the BOOK.
You can even make personal notes next to BOOK text entries
with an optional programming tool, the 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.
Watch for a flood of new titles soon.
