Bendable E-Paper Shown Off in Japan
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.
