>>>>ANNOUNCING A NEW TECHNOLOGY ...
>>>>
>>>>Finally !  A technology so simple even brilliant PhDs from well-known
>>>>universities can use it!  Announcing the new "Built-in Orderly Organized
>>>>Knowledge" device (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. Here's how it works.
>>>>
>>>>Each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper
>>>>(pages, recyclable), each sheet 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
>>>>sheets.
>>>>This makes them thicker and harder to carry, and has drawn some
>>>>criticism from the mobile 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. Only the number of sheets in the BOOK
>>>>limits the number. 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 and
>>>>education 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.
