Video of ‘World’s first full-sized e-paper newspaper’
“Ever wondered what we’ll all be reading on the hover bus in The Future? Wonder no more and instead enjoy the marvel that is Bridgestone’s full-size steam-powered electronic newspaper. Feel your mind boggle as it turns its own e-paper pages in a mere 15 seconds. Aw, just watch the thing, ok?” - DigitalWorld Tokyo.
The TeleRead take: Well, it’s a start. Perhaps better things will be on the way soon.
Question: Would you enjoy reading books in the form of full-sized E newspapers, so you could scan over a wider area?

Personally, a full size newspaper is great….when I have the space to spread it out, which is very rare. I think the convenience of a smaller form factor far outways the few advantages of the larger format.
