Kudos for e-paper

So, finally – we have electronic device which is a reasonable enough size and weight to potentially replace ordinary paper. This’ll either change the world, or bankrupt the company.

Zack Whittaker writing at ZD Net about the e-paper device developed at Cambridge University and being manufactured by Plastic Logic.  Be sure to check out the photos of the device.

This is another reason we need flexibility in or shofit design.

    This is interesting. One common complain by people is that they like the ‘feel’ of a traditional paper or book and Newsagents seem to often rest their laurels on this. But what happens when an electronic device does provide the feel of paper? The ultimate test of a device should be whether it can be rolled up to swat a fly. I think that day is closer than people may think.
