Announcing the new Built-In Orderly Organized Knowledge device (BOOK).
It's 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 its powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disk.
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. By using both sides of
each sheet, manufacturers can cut costs in half.
Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your
brain. A flick of the finger takes you directly to the next sheet. The
BOOK may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The
"browsing" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move
forward or backward as you wish. Most 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 at the exact
place you left it in the previous session - even if it has been closed.
BOOKmarks fit universal design standards, thus a single one can be used in
BOOKs by various manufacturers.
Portable, durable and affordable, the BOOK is the entertainment craze of the
future, and many new titles are expected soon due to the surge in popularity
of its programming tool, the Portable Erasable-Nib Cryptic
Intercommunication Language Stylus (PENCILS).
