Extra! Extra! Read all about it! (Sorry, but where else were we gonna use that line?) For those unaware, Esquire's October issue is on newsstands now, and ~~100,000~~ 99,999 lucky souls out there will receive one with a flashing E Ink display.

Just in case you aren't quite lucky enough to apprehend one of your own, however, The Dastardly Report's Ryan Joseph was kind enough to snap a few photographs and even host a video of the exclusive mag before tearing it down for hacking purposes. Head on past the break for the clip, and tap that read link to have a gander at the stills. Oh, and dart out right this instant to snag your own.

New Esquire Magazine Cover Features E Ink

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 21st 2008 at 11:01AM

Nary a month after an E Ink exec asserted that e-newspapers would be going commercial by 2009, in flies word that a forthcoming issue of Esquire will likely be the poster child for the change. According to David Granger, Esquire's editor in chief, rags have generally "looked the same for 150 years," but all that will change when 100,000 copies of the September issue arrive on newsstands with a flashing electronic cover.

The E Ink technology used will be exclusively available to Esquire until 2009, and the blinking "The 21st Century Begins Now" text will sadly fade after the battery runs dry in 90 days. Still, there's at least some chance the issue will wind up in the Smithsonian, and an even bigger chance magazine racks everywhere will require Kanye-approved sunglasses to even look at in just a few years.

Bendable E-Paper Shown Off in Japan

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Apr 17th 2008 at 5:22PM

E-Ink, the company that manufactures Sony's e-book reader, was in Japan this week showing off its new e-paper technology, which it hopes people will use to replace regular paper.

The new, flexible, low-power display technology will allow consumers to not only read digital books and news papers, but also take digital notes, subsequently reducing our reliance on increasingly expensive paper. So far we can't say we're convinced of the practicality of digital paper, but if it can reduce the level of deforestation, especially in developing nations like China and India, then we're all for it.
