Very interesting....

Hoever, I would say that if we are waiting on colour and full speed video we may be looking at the wrong target. For a paper replacement I would be looking at high contract ratios, very low power use and durability - all of which are almost here now.

As long as the display can refresh in less time than it takes to turn a page, and can display clear black at normal font sizes, it could repace traditional printed books and newspapers immediately.

They could even be discounted as the ability to sell highly targeted advertising based on articles being read or on personal information gathered as part of a free or subsciption registration would be of considerable value.

Any chance of one for Christmas?
