E Ink hits newstands, nation wonders if they’re an extra in a sci-fi movie

Esquire recently became the first magazine to use E Ink (aka electronic paper) technology, which attracts readers like moths to blinking letters and lights on a bendable digital screen. Sounds archaic, but this could be the beginning of a beautiful digital/print relationship. Oh the possibilities…

[As one of our green-minded web designers pointed out, it would have been nice if Esquire tried to power the electronic paper with flexible solar cells from companies like Konarka or Nanosolar instead of five landfill-bound batteries.]
