Various news items have surfaced today about the recent advances made with E-Ink.
Although e-paper is being touted for the next generation of e-books and e-newspapers, futurists and industry experts speculate e-paper could be sewn into garments for users to use on the run or could be used for a credit card that could display the balance or recent purchases.
While I would just love to get this big-ass monitor off of my desk, I just don't see this as a replacement for books. Maybe for educational texts. I dunno. There just aren't a lot of true book lovers out there thinking that their books need to be 'fixed'. Sewn into garments? No thank you. Sounds about as useful as Microsoft's iLoo project.
