Abstract

This device is a thin notebook computer with dual connected touch-screen monitors that fold open to be used like a book, or opened in the flat position, also like a book. The keyboard is operated by software on one of the touch screen monitors, or is an accessory that uses infra red or Bluetooth technology for input into the device. Use of this device, in the same manner as holding, reading and using a book, is a primary function and feature that distinguishes it from other computers and e-books.

Claims

1. I claim that this device and its revolutionary design with two connected touch-screen monitors makes reading and learning comparable to the experience of reading a paper book or using the computer, except there is greater capacity to store and retreive data.
