[Web4lib] e-Readers (electric paper)

[David Kane]

Hi Jim,

That's an interesting rumor all right.  I suspect that the market does
need to be jump started, because there are a lot people (like me) who
are interested but who have never actually seen a reader of this type. 
I would pay $50 for a reader, in a heartbeat.

David.

$50 reader as a way of jumpstarting the market.
