Amazing Technological Breakthrough!
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.
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 disc.
Here's how it works:
Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device (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 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. Experts are divided on the prospects for further increases in information density; for now, Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge devices with more information simply use more pages. Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.
Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device may be taken up at any time and used merely by opening it. They never crash or require rebooting, though, like other devices, it can become damaged if coffee is spilled on it and it becomes unusable if dropped too many times on a hard surface. 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 pin-points the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.
An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open the Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device to the exact place you left it in a previous session -- even if the Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device has been closed. "BOOKmarks" fit universal design standards; thus, a single "BOOKmark" can be used in Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge devices by various manufacturers. Conversely, numerous "BOOKmarkers" can be used in a single Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device if the user wants to store numerous views at once. The number is limited only by the number of pages in the Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device . You can also make personal notes next to Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device text entries with optional programming tools like, the Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Styli (PENCILS) or the Portable Emulsion Nib Styli (PENS).
Portable, durable, and affordable, the Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device is being hailed as a precursor of a new entertainment wave. Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge devices 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.
