Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device, trade-named  -
BOOK.

BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology; no wires,  no
electronic 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 or under an umbrella at the beach - yet it is powerful enough  to
hold as much information as a CD-R 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
(or spine) which maintains the sheets in their correct  sequence.

Opaque Paper Technology (OPT) allows manufacturers to use both  sides of
each page, thus doubling information density and cutting costs.  Experts
are divided on the prospects for future increases in  information
density; for now, BOOKS with more information simply use more  pages.
However, experiments with different types of Formulaic Optical  Nuanced
Technology Systems (FONTS) have led to promising results.

Each  BOOK sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly
into the  users brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.
Moving about  within the BOOK data file is just as easy. The "browse"
feature allows users  to move instantly to any sheet, both forward and
backward. Many come with an  "index" feature, which pinpoints the exact
location of any selected material  for instant retrieval. 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 or other liquids are spilled on it  and it may become unusable
if dropped too often onto hard surfaces.

A  Manually Accessed Retrieval Knickknack (MARK) allows users to open
BOOK to  the exact place they left off in a previous session - even if
BOOK has been  closed. These peripheral devices fit universal design
standards; thus a  single BOOKMARK can be used in BOOKs by various
manufacturers. Conversely,  numerous BOOKMARKs can be used in a single
book, provided the user desires to  save numerous views within the
device. Users can also make personal notes  next to and within BOOK text
entries with optional programming tools such as  Portable Erasable Nib
Cryptic Intercommunication Language Styli  (PENCILS).

Portable, durable, and affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a  precursor
of a new entertainment and educational 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.
