[paperless paper] technology on the train


One of these "read in the MSM and comment" posts, I'm afraid.

The electronic newspaper, developed by Plastic Logic's factory in Dresden by British engineer Dean Baker and cohorts, tries to bridge the gap between the pleasure of turning the pages of a real newspaper and the annoyance factor to those around.

Depending on the cost of the new device which is shaped like a tabloid and can electronically access any news of the day, many might be buying them when they are released next year.

Here's one already in operation. And another.

Will they take on in their new flexi-format? Would you take one of these, rather than the newsstand variety, on the train with you to work?
