From their technology page - one reason is the ability to have content on the device (local memory) even when offline. useful for serving up a resume, tutorial, guide or other content without an internet connection being required. The current implementation (Q1, 2013) uses a FAT16 filesystem and has limited storage suitable for distributing a few files or web pages. From the user’s perspective, files on an intelliPaper device can be browsed and/or viewed just as they are on any other USB drive. Larger capacities in the 8-32 megabyte range are expected to become available mid 2013.[1] [1] https://www.intellipaper.info/technology/ https://www.intellipaper.info/technology/
