I blame Larke2000 for fooling an old timer like me into thinking it was paper.

He should respect his elders.


Next he will try to sell me siding for my house and some kind of souped up life insurance.


A paper watch! Sheeeesshhh!

If my doctor says I need it, then yes, I will take the siding.


My insurance you sold me will pay for it, right? Here is my credit card# and social security#.


You are a nice young man, be careful now and don't get your paper watch wet, that would not be good, no sir.

it is similar in the way it works, and they could be considered competing technology. we may one day have OLED displays at home to watch HD content, but i'm not sure if e-paper is robust enough for high quality full motion video. but you could still see huge e-paper displays in places like the airport or train station with departure times and such. you could pretty much put either of them anywhere at anytime and not really have to worry about wiring up and powering a big display. they both have great potential in niche areas.
