BOOK
Some brilliant brains have now come up with the ultimate Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge Device called BOOK. The BOOK is a
revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric
circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. Compact
and portable, it can be used anywhere -yet it is powerful enough to hold
as much information as a CD-ROM. 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 side of the sheet, doubling the information
density and cutting costs in half. The BOOK never crashes and never
needs rebooting, though like other display devices it can become
unusable if dropped overboard. An optional BOOKmark accessory allows you
to open the BOOK at 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. 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, the BOOK is being hailed as the knowledge device of the
future and thousands of content users have committed to the platform.
