Phooey! Ebooks are history. Have you heard of the latest rage? It's called a "BOOK" (just drop the "E" at the beginning and you've got the correct pronunciation). It has tons of advantages over the antiquated and failing "Ebook" format. Just read this news blurb:
B.O.O.K.
Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device - trade named B.O.O.K.
B.O.O.K. is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no downloading required, no format converting required, no DRM, no electric circuits to go bad, no batteries to replace or to go bad, no charging involved, completely nonvolatile memory, and 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 when sitting in an armchair by the fire - yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disc.
It is composed of hundreds of incredibly thin and flexible opaque displays called "sheets", each capable of holding thousands of bits of information in sequential order, which are stacked and bound at one edge. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. What's more there's no boot-up time to start reading! B.O.O.K. may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. B.O.O.K. never crashes or requires rebooting.
An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open B.O.O.K. to the exact place you left it in a previous session, with no boot-up time or screen clicking at all. Numerous B.O.O.K. markers can be used in a single B.O.O.K. if the user wants to store numerous views simultaneously for extremely easy data retrieval. The number of BOOKmarks is limited only by the number of pages in the B.O.O.K. You can also make personal notes next to B.O.O.K. text entries with an optional programming tool, the Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus (P.E.N.C.I.L.S.)
Portable, durable, affordable, and almost always usable as freeware (see below), B.O.O.K. is being hailed as the precursor of a new entertainment wave. Also, B.O.O.K.'s appeal seems so certain that thousands of content creators have committed to the platform. What's more: nearly all publishers worldwide have immediately committed to publishing more content to B.O.O.K. devices than to any other medium, and are already meeting that objective, overnight!
Lastly in a spirit of good will and openess most titles are free to borrow by going to a L.I.B.R.A.R.Y. (pronounced "lie-brairee") Nobody knows what this acronym stands for, but the fact that these wonderful and well stocked suppositories exist already in almost every town and city is almost mind boggling even to the greatest minds of the century. Many people believe this fact alone is reason enough to ditch all other reading devices altogether.
