It is good to see so many different new display ideas coming forward, even if it'll be a few years more before we see products.
if they are super low power I wouldn't see that as a big problem in a handheld.



it sounds like it has promise, but being backed by the Readius team gives me less than hope, as their reader is vaporware. its nice to see people working on this technology though
