I think we might just have a problem with this new technology... It
threatens to take a large portion of the web design and information use
technology away from our control I believe it was at the root of the
demise of Sony's portable information display device a few years ago.

Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device,
trade-named: BOOK.
BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no
electric circuits, no batteries, noting 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: 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.
Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly
into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. BOOK
may be taken up at any time and used merely by opening it.
BOOK never crashes or requires re-booting. 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 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. The number is limited only by the number of pages
in the BOOK.
You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text entries with an
operational programming tool, the Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic
Intercommunication Language Stylus (PENCILS).
Portable, durable, and affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a
precursor of a new entertainment wave. Also, BOOK's appeal seems so
certain that thousands of content creators have committed to the platform
and investors are reportedly flocking. Look for a flood of new titles
soon.
