DixieGal, they couldn't use it to display future issues, mainly because as this display is designed the battery will run out in 90 days. so it's really more of a gimmick (although a really brilliant gimmick, obviously !!). on the other hand, who knows where it could lead ? it has the advantage of opening people's eyes, giving them a first-hand experience with e-ink, and also potentially paving the way for further uses in the press, once the logistical difficulties are resolved...
