Does anyone know how eInk 'paper' ages? Will there be an increasing number of 'stuck' ink cells over time? Does the carrier medium thicken or evaporate or otherwise change behaviour? Will ink cells dissolve, and the 'ink' leak over the page?

Noone bothers much about the life-time of flash memory anymore, because the number of writes is now comfortably high ... what about number of 'pages' an eInk paper can show ... ?
