Today,
independent researchers and developers announced the new Built-in
Orderly Organized Knowledge device, to be henceforth known as BOOK.

| Introducing the BOOK! |
The
BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: No wires, no
electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected, switched
on, or recharged. It's so easy to use even a child can operate it.
Just lift its cover!
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 flash drive.
Here's how it works...
Each
BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper
(recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of
information. These 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 in half.
Experts
are divided on the prospects for further increases in information
density; for now, BOOKS with more information simply use more pages.
This makes them thicker and harder to carry, and has drawn some
criticism from the mobile computing crowd.
Each
sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into
your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.
The
BOOK may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The
BOOK never crashes and never needs 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.
 |
| Sample BOOKmark |
An
optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open the 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 BOOKmarks 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.

| The PENCIL |
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).
Scientists are even developing the PENCIL in ALTERNATE COLORS! More on this development soon!
 |
| COMING SOON! |
Portable,
durable, and affordable, the BOOK is being hailed as the
entertainment wave of the future. The BOOK's appeal seems so certain
that thousands of content creators have committed to the platform.
Look
for a flood of new titles soon!
