Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge (BOOK) Device
|
Announcing the new 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. 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 CD-ROM disc. 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.
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 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, 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.
