Electronic Paper is Here

I had been waiting for it, and it happened when I wasn’t paying attention.

This product is built using high-resolution e-ink, which is a technology that is basically paper coated with a special ink that can be turned on and off.

This is actually an explosive technology to my way of thinking… I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about it in the news.

Aside from creating superior displays (low power, as readable as regular paper), consider that you can create sheets of paper that can be run through a printer, and then re-run through a printer, and re-run, and so on, each time showing no evidence of the previous print. No ink! No toner! Perfect recycling!

My head spins.
