Perhaps 2 and change is a bit young, but I have to share something I find amusing from my local book seller (to give credit where credit is due, its from Book City in Toronto)

Introducing the new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device- BOOK.
BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology; no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. Its easy to use. Even a child can operate it.

Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere- even sitting in an armchair by the fire- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much as a CD-ROM.

BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. The pages are locked together with one of two different custom devices, a BINDER, or DOUBLE STITCH BINDING, which keep the sheets in their correct sequence. Opaque Paper Technology (OPT) allows manufacturers to use both sides of the sheet, doubling the information density.

Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly to your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.

BOOK never crashes nor requires rebooting. The 'browse' function allows instant movement to any sheet, forward or backward, as one wishes. Many come with an 'index' feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.

Portable, durable and affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a precursor of a new entertainment wave. BOOK's appeal seems so certain that thousands of content creators have commited to the platform and investors are reportedly flocking to the medium.
