Also, my iLiad has a thick plastic top layer on the screen that is very scratch resistant (none yet in 6 months). |

I believe you're thinking of a epaper technology known as "Gyricon". That used the rotating balls coated with white on one side and black on the other. Though both technologies were spawned from Xerox, eInk is very different. It uses tiny particles of black and white suspended within a solution in each transparent microcapsule. When a charge is applied, varied quantities of black or white are pulled to the surface.

Why not use refillable screens? Like in the days one could pump up their shoes to have better shock resistance. 'pump your screen!'

Has anyone heard what their planned price point is? I saw this in the Boston Globe today and was surprised that its being heralded as "cheap" (as in inexpensive).
