But I've seen LCD price tags on shoes at a clothing store locally. They were a little klunky and looked a little like a pillbox. I suppose the price could be changed remotely, but they really would have looked a lot nicer with e-ink. Even better if the little plastic tags on shelfs like at walmart and grocery stores were replaced by built-in, remotely updated, e-ink displays that look like paper. That makes so much more sense than current systems for price labeling.

Yes, I remember those. I work for a large local retailer and I remember when we were playing with those shelf tags. We are now moving to "shelf strips" (imagine all those shelf tags on one long strip that does on the shelf lip) which is getting closer to what eInk technology can do.
