I don't think so, and I don't think they think so.

I mean, what is the point of "printing" future periodicals with eInk displays? That defeats the whole purpose of reusable, portable book (or magazine) readers.

If you are doing this at all, you don't care about reusable portable content viewers.
But to take the technology a step further, some magazines print regional editions with different covers. What if the cover can be selected at purchase time, and downloaded into the eInk device that is the magazine's cover?
Or even better, what if the technology advances to the point where
moving displays can be embedded in the cover, instead of just static images?
