New Product Announcement
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 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 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 [PENCIL].
