sipix vs eink
this is the review that got me worried:
http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/201...gies-compared/

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/SiPix
(please note that the information on the wiki is -as far as I think- a QUOTE from the advertising material and not an actual/impartial review)
Specifically, I'm saying the above reffering to:
Advantages
* Eye-Catching Readability: High contrast & reflectivity
* Wide viewing angle: ~180°
* Multiple monochromatic choices: Black, red, green, blue, gold
* Ultra-low Power: Bistable, Low switching power
* Large Form factor: Custom sizes from 11"-wide e-paper Roll
* Flexible e-Paper: < 2 cm bending radius
* Durable: No glass, endures > 1290 PSI (The current AUO manufactured touch screen devices have a glass backing)
* Lightweight: 22.5 mg/cm^2 (film only)

I can understand it MIGHT be lighter and more durable, but for CERTAIN its readability it's not better than eink's; I mean... high constrast? who draws the line where "high" starts? if sipix has high contrast than EINK has ULTRA-high ...
