Exbiblio: Exbiblio is introducing an innovative hand-held device - the 'Qi™' - and related services that will connect the paper and digital worlds.
We are planning to introduce the first version of our product as a limited-distribution Beta release later this year. More information about this release, including opportunities to participate in the Beta, will be available here at Exbiblio.com.

about: Exbiblio™ brings the rich interactions you have on a daily basis with Web pages on the Internet — such as saving and sharing what you read, linking to expanded content or related information or learning about or purchasing products — to any paper document wherever you are.
Once you can link a paper document to its digital version, the paper you hold is transformed into a physical Web page. The question then becomes, "How much of a paper document do you need to 'capture' in order to identify the digital version of it unambiguously?" The answer is quite remarkable. In most cases, instead of scanning and processing every page of a document, you only need to capture about six words. In short, any snippet of already-existing text in a document becomes an identifying barcode. Because the capture involves only a small amount of text, it identifies both the document and a location within that document. This can all be accomplished with an optical capture device that fits in the palm of your hand and connects wirelessly to the Internet. Selecting the snippet of text with the device becomes the equivalent of clicking on it with a mouse. In this way, Exbiblio brings to the world of books, newspapers, magazines and other printed materials the dynamic, interactive capabilities we all have come to expect from a Web page.

I think some of what is in that pdf document (to which I do not readily find a link on current site) is here about: Uses:The following are examples of what is possible in the world of Exbiblio.
...In the world of Exbiblio, you use your portable, hand-held scanner to "capture" sections you may want to use in the paper or to electronically highlight sections of the books you are reading. And when a thought of your own comes to mind, you capture the idea with your Exbiblio scanner because it is not only a scanner but also a voice recorder. The system then uploads your scans and voice and highlight annotations into your computer (automatically converting the voice notes to text)
