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.

 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"! accesso ry 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.
