Magazines and newspapers.
Just in case it wasn't obvious why this will type of tech will be huge.
Also - IoT displays. Hell, in the long term, _all material that is graphically designed and may need to change. Advertising, signs, dashboards, frickin' everything.
- make3 10y agoI don't know about Magazines and newspapers, that feels like it might be underestimating the price for quite a bit, for quite a while. For much longer battery life on tablets / phones / ireaders however, this could be huge.

- Cthulhu_ 10y agoNewspapers would already be possible, especially if e-ink displays were made in A4 or maybe even larger sizes. Newspaper companies would have to heavily back them though (free e-reader with a yearly subscription to the digital newspaper for example)
- swalsh 10y agoMagazines and newspapers are here today... it's called a kindle, or an ipad, or an iphone. This doesn't change that game. It also still has the same limitation of it's black and white brother. While the ink part scales, the electronics behind it don't. Don't get me wrong, I think color makes this a much better value proposition... but I don't think our world is going to be wrapped in it anytime soon.
- jkestner 10y agoThe ink part doesn't scale either — try pricing larger sizes. This is the failed promise, that they'd be able to just manufacture sheets of the stuff cheaply.
