E-Books and Bendable Electronic Paper

There have been quite a few articles lately that discuss e-readers and most agree that they haven't hit their "ipod moment". If I were a producer of an e-reader I'd be worried about a better Apple product. Apple didn't start producing mobile phones until recently; the iphone was an instant success.



I'm waiting for the ipod moment too. I hope it has something to do with the electronic paper Fujitsu developed in 2005. Ever since their announcement several years ago I've been waiting to see a book made of the paper. I suppose it would only have to be one to two pages thick.

See this article from Fujitsu for more details on the paper.
