The Guardian: A Newspaper in 2015 (concept)
Polymer Vision's Readius goes in the right direction, but the following concept looks like so much more. Designer Mayo Nissen created the newspaper for 2015:

Quote:
The product uses a fexible e-ink display which dynamically displays content based on the physical form of the scroll. Being controlled by the reader, this is likely to depend on current needs, context, and available time, as well as the content on offer at any one time.
Find more about the Guardian in Mayo's selected works here (PDF).

Looks pretty, pretty. But, it doesn't look very handbag-friendly

Well, it's obviously a design concept. However, the idea of an e-ink page that rolls upward from a scroll-base isn't a bad one, providing the flexibility of asking for whatever size (length) of screen you desire.

It would be more efficient to turn every artificial surface into a programmable display, or just to stop messing with inefficient external crutches altogether and directly splice the data you want into the optic nerve stream

I absolutely believe it is possible to roll e-paper, it is the getting-it-completely-flat-for-comfortable-reading part without having to keep it spread manually that worries me.

Agreed, I want to be able to spread it so I can read during messy meals that require both hands without resorting to using the salt and pepper shakers :P
