I'm really happy to learn from the TechnologyNow podcast that e Ink or electronic paper or whatever you may wish to call it is, back on the agenda. The technology and concept has been around for over 5 years, primarily as a xerox product, but was not developed beyond proof-of-concept. Now Phillips (amongst others) have produced a read/write electronic paper that is being investigated by big publishing/newspaper. And whilst the sony ebook reader is really good, I think e Ink will revolutionise publishing - provided that a business model can be established.
