Now I don't know if this is the way to go, but I personally love paper, or recycled paper to be exact. I love new & old books, the turn of a 'real' page, my surf mags by the toilet, my Design Week through the letter box. Now admittedly this could save some paper and landfill space....but I think it's going to be for some and not for others!

Imagine curling up on the couch with the morning paper and then using the same sheet of paper to read the latest novel by your favorite author. That's one possibility of electronic paper, a flexible display that looks very much like real paper but can be re-used, over and over again. The display contains many tiny microcapsules filled with particles that carry electric charges bonded to a steel foil. Each microcapsule has white and black particles that are associated with either a positive or negative charge. Depending on which charge is applied, the black or white particles surface displaying different patterns. In the United States alone, more than 55 million newspapers are sold each weekday.
