New Electronic “Paper”

Ond of the complaints about electronic publishing is that it doesn’t have the “feel” of a book. Now, “in a paper published in the British science journal Nature, E Ink executives said they have successfully developed a prototype display just three-tenths of a millimeter thick, using stainless steel and a plastic covering, that can display words and pictures at up to 96 pixels per inch. Besides being lightweight, the display can be rolled into a half-inch-wide scroll without damage, E Ink said.”
