I saw some version of e ink in a powerpoint at the Frankfurt book fair in 1997. Well, maybe '98. Guy from MIT said it would replace books in 10 years...or so. Working for a textbook publisher, this got my attention. Would save some pp&b costs to have all grade 8 textbooks in one book/device (pp&b = paper, printing & binding). Obviously, a ways to go. If readable books in greyscale are still years off, how long for four color?
