For over four years, the "paper" from 6 to 9 inches-based electronic ink exists. Most devices read and write using it, and it will sell between 5 and 10 million units this year 2010. But like its predecessor, developed in China in the second century BCE, 3500 years before the alchemy of the book, this new medium rather magical expected to be fairly valued.
Not only does he still has some defects few, but no significant effort has been done to overcome him through the classic book or cause a stronger attraction than the iPhone and the new generation of tablets. Technicians and editors, which grow legitimate or simply a standardization of formats of the past (RTF, PDF, ePub ...) to defend their catalogs or economic models, generate content monotonous, while authors and readers demanding environments for protean works and interactive communicators, or simply beautiful, making the success of the Nintendo DS and soon the iPad.
The electronic paper book the most comfortable is probably one of Ganaxa , remained experimental basis for future developments, the most useful, the Amazon, Sony, or Barnes & Noble, as integrated platforms for content distribution and updating of software.
But that might be taken in hand with as much fun as the old or the one on shelf yet to be invented.
