First Esquire had to make a six-figure investment to hire an engineer in China to develop a battery small enough to be inserted in the magazine cover. The batteries and the display case are manufactured and put together in China. They are shipped to Texas and on to Mexico, where the device is inserted by hand into each magazine. The issues will then be shipped via trucks, which will be refrigerated to preserve the batteries, to the magazine’s distributor in Glazer, Ky.

E Ink is going to shine as the cover for 100.000 esquire magazines. That'd be a flashing, changing cover on a "classic" printed thing.
(so tempted to buy one, just to hack the cover)
