 Announcing the new Built-in
Orderly Organized Knowledge device, otherwise known
as the 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 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 (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
are able to cut costs in half. 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 "browse" 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 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.
Portable, durable
and affordable, the BOOK is the entertainment wave 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.
