BoingBoing talked with someone from Esquire, and it's almost unbelievable: they actually want us to hack their frontpage cover and turn it into something more useful.
Quote:
But on to the question most of the geeks have been asking: Can you rip out the cover and use it for your own projects?
Griffin says it should be possible — "We look forward to seeing what people do it" — although there isn't any discrete input on the custom-designed circuit board that will control the e-paper. The data will be baked into the circuitry. Figuring out how to reprogram the e-paper controller or installing an entirely new one will be up to the hackers.
Good news about the battery, though: it should be trivial to replace.
