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. 

BOOK never crashes or requires rebooting, though, like other devices, it can
become damaged if coffee is spilled on it and it becomes unusable if dropped
too many times 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 pin-points the exact location of any
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 BOOK markers
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 optional programming
tools, 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. Look for a flood of new titles soon.
