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.
•
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 in water
• 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.
The media is ideal for long-term archive use.
Several field trials have proven that the media will still be readable in
several centuries, and because of its simple user interface it will be
compatible with future reading devices.
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.
