ABSTRACT:
An easily portable electronic book reading device for reading text information of documents, books etc. previously stored on a storage medium. The device generally comprises a flat screen monitor, a control panel, and a data storage/reading device. The flat screen monitor displays text information of a document being read, and optionally system control data. The control panel allows the user to control the display of information on the monitor, including selection of a document to be read; moving to a desired page; "book-marking" a desired page to allow the user to rapidly return to that page at a later time; stepping forward and backward through a document one page at a time; and controlling the size of text displayed on the monitor. The data storage/reading device, which can conveniently be provided as a CD-ROM or (preferably) a Micro-CD-ROM is provided to read text information from a removable memory medium, for display on the monitor. The flat screen monitor, control panel, and data storage/reading device are housed within a housing designed to facilitate ease and comfort of the user over extended periods of use of the device, and further to effectively protect the various components from damage due to impacts or entry of foreign matter such as dust and sand.
