Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device, or BOOK for short.

BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on.

Hmm, I tried one of these a while ago.
I couldn't figure it out. OK opening it up was fine, and I got to the first page of text. but tapping the right side of the page didn't do anything.

Not exactly a user friendly device!

Help please!

Also, you can only search on the page you are on (the first ) and it doesn't even highlight the results!

Primary data content is static! Just imagine the storage and organizational nightmare these devices present for even a moderate reader. What are people going to do, stack them against walls? AND they're freaking flammable!! Who let's this stuff on the market anyway? what about the children??

Not to mention the font size isn't able to be changed, nor is there a front light for reading in the dark.

Got a slight cut on my finger while turning pages. Seems like a design flaw. I see lawsuits in its future!

If you have problems understanding how to use your BOOK you should consult technical support:

Blimey, I tried one of these so called BOOKS and found a word that I wanted to look up in the dictionary, and blow me down if the BOOK didn't contain a dictionary!! Let alone a French to English dictionary, because it was a French word that I needed translating!!

Hmmm, OK I figured out the page turning gesture thing.

You extend 2 fingers, pinch and grab a corner then drag to the left and lo and behold, there's ANOTHER page underneath it!

But then I put the book down and opened it later and it didn't open at the page where I left it.
Was this device tested AT ALL?!

Does it not have text-to-speech? I was tapping on the pronunciation next to a word and it made no sound.

I tried to 'pinch & spread' my fingers to enlarge some text - but my fingers became smeared with ink! The display must be leaking!

You're all nattering nabobs of negativism! This is a colossal leap forward in technology. I dropped mine several feet onto the sidewalk and the substrate didn't crack.

But there are tradeoffs -- for instance, it is way too easily folded and creased and gets rumpled.

It will be interesting to see where this technology can take us.
