As much as I want to see things go eInk and PDA-like, the fact is that paper has an emotional attachment to the fabric of many people's lives. It would be more likely to think that change would occur first on the side of content providers, giving lower amounts of print info, or giving a complelling reaosn to have dynamic info in front of them (maybe that typo of "see the video above" when talking about a news story). Places like CBS news are already looking to revamp their entire media news structure to have dynamic content a fabric of their news, instead of the report nature; I think this would have to happen before eInk and other tech gives us reason to stay with the change.
Of cource, TX's priced at $50 wouldnt hurt the cause either.
