B.O.O.K - Built-in Orderly Organised Knowledge

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 that 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. Sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information, are scanned optically by you and registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.
