I saw this device. It is essentially a bar code reader. The concept is that every page of the book would have a bar-code on one of the corners which would have complete text of the page coded in this bar-code. Size of this bar-code is about one CM by one CM. there is a small bar code scanner. By a press of a button, the bar code reader scanns the bar code and starts reading the text coded in that bar-code. In Koria they are having some publications with such bar codes. It would read only the books that have such bar codes.
The cost of this too is quite prohabitive right now.
