Durability. Something like that wouldn't break if dropped. Are you really that thick or are you just trolling?

For long lasting applications protection would be wanted. Even if it is used as wall paper you'd want a protective coating. Note also that paper is the bottom layer and that there are at least three layers above the paper. |

I am a disposable reader. Not many authors will miss me when I pop my clogs. N

I think she was trying to say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." There is also the concern of cost to the consumer I think. Even if a reader is fairly cheap compared to what technology cost in the past not everyone wants to fork over funds every few days or however a disposible unit would last.

And if you read the article all the way to the end, you will see that they don't say that it would be fairly cheap compared to what technology cost in the past, but actually cheap enough to throw away at the end of the day. How much does a newspaper cost? |

I agree with those above who say the 'disposable part' is incredibly dumb.
I guess none of the folks creating this new technology saw the movie Wall-E. |

He taught them that "If it ain't broke, make it better." and Demming is the reason why people buy Japanese today. When Harley Davidson, maker of a crappy motorcycle, saw what Japan was doing to their field, they adopted Demming's work and saved the company. |
