My Mother is an avid collector of these, and I have a rather large collection as well, as do other members of my Family.
"Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge" Device...
Trade name: 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.
