Nick Bilton: eInk a possible future for paper

I've been hot for eInk since Wired ran a feature on it eleven years ago, when I was fourteen:

Unfortunately, it seems like all that eInk has really done in the mass-market consumer space is save battery life for eBook readers. I'm still waiting for the eInk product I can many-to-one my bookshelf into and read like a real book, but this doesn't seem to be anywhere close to reality.

imho eInk has Second Life status in reality:media hype ratio.
