BOOK
Nancy Reeves
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.
