Electrically alterable displays are the emerging book of our period.
These were/are all REAL. Yellowed pages are simply a sign of old age. Those paperbacks on my shelf, did not start out yellowed. That is due to time and chemical residues left in the paper.
I chose an e-ink device because I can HOLD IT and read in many places (unlike the first 3 items on my list above). The second reason (which more closely matches the previous version), is I can read the complete (typical content) book on a single charge.
