I guess we can all see where this is going: Esquire’s October issue features a flashing e-ink display on the front page. It might not me the most sophisticated ‘digital cover’ but it surly shows us where things are heading in regards to magazines/newspaper and printing information on paper. I just don’t see any value in paper any more and I really believe that it will be replaced by something like the below, although it might take a while for e-ink to compete with paper in regards to costs.
I’ve just moved house and having lots of ‘data carriers’ (books/CD/records) to move around is not just inconvenient but could also become an obstacle if I want to move abroad. I’m working on a solution for all my CDs and we just gave all the books we will definitely not read any more to Oxfam.
