I have a friend that works at E-Ink and from what I have heard they are going through some big shake ups with their technology. Seems that they are close to mass production, but there are some idea problems with the top brass, so they are cutting back for a while and getting ready to shift to this new tech.
On the other hand MIT is working on a competive technology using polimers to get a slightly photoluminesent color flexiable display. From what another one of my friends working on this project says the creation of these displays will be fast and cheep. Just take whateve it is that you want to be the display and dip it into 3 vats. When it comes out you have a display.
Gotta love progress.

That's no planet... ...it's a space station!
I think the time has come for a true electronic currency. Something like the credstick idea in Shadowrun. Cheap, disposable, and safe, just like cash.
There already is an Open Religion format. IT's called Unitarian Universilism, or UU for short. They can be found in just about any city.
