At night for cash machines you would always need some form of illumination

I hear a lot of people stating that they'll stick to paper because they love the way it feels. I however do predict a strong decline of paper in favour of epaper, for following reasons: - Price. As paper sales drop, printing will become more expensive, while increased consumption and lower production cost will make epaper cheaper. In the end, it'll simply be cheaper to buy epaper. - User friendlyness. Epaper is only a few years old. Remember the advances electronics like pc's and mobile phones are making in terms of consumer ease. Battery life, touch screens, speed, memory... If in 5 (?) years time a fast, colour capable piece of epaper costs 100 euro, it'll be the new iPod. - Ease. For school and work, you'll be able to carry huge amounts of paper on an easy to access, user friendly item. You'll be able to download your books from home or anywere you get wireless, rather than running to the library each time, hoping someone else didn't lend the same copy. - Freedom of information. You'll always have to pay for printed texts, unless you want to risk stealing from the store. On the internet, information is really hard to protect if used by a large public (think about how movies and music get digitalized the moment they get released, something you also see with every latest Harry Potter edition), especially since written text is extremely small in digital size and easy to copy. So rather than going to the book store and paying a healthy price, a lot of people will simply download an illegal copy, which will lower printed book sales, but boost epaper sales. - Seller interest. It'll be interesting for publishing houses to just sell books in a digital form, as they can cut prices from printing. You'll even have publishing houses who'll exist purely in digital form, because of the ease. This'll be a disaster for printers around the world, but than so was the dvd to vcr companies. And as the offer is changed, so is the public's demand (the way it happend with digital tv in my country: it was worse, but there was no alternative). - Generation differences. The next generations will grow up with epaper, the way the current one grew up with pc's. Older generations will refuse to use it at first, until they see the benefits (my grandmother still doesn't use pc or mobile, my mother couldn't live without them). In conclusion, I'd expect over 90% of all printed releases to be replaced by ebooks by 2018. But this will also have to do with the next stage in pc integration, making the computer a more integral part of consumer's lives (written text being the last digital media barrier).

Comics and syndicated content would find a great avenue in e-paper... certainly the technology now is perfect for them... all we need to have is the platform in place.

I think we all should stop thinking that one will trump the other, that e-paper would replace paper, or that paper will stay and e-paper would just be a fad... it's nothing like that. Paper and e-paper compliment each other.

Hmmn, if you want to know about it, Amazon has said that e-book sales were not affecting book sales negatively. They said that people were buying Kindle books not in lieu of physical books, but in addition to it. Which means that they've just tapped another market with Kindle.

I see the future of syndication opening up to even more outlets for their features than they had even 10 years ago. But right now we’re in a transition period moving things from print to digital. I think newspaper comics can thrive in digital once E-Ink and E-Paper become commonplace (cheap). Imagine if all you had to do was pick up a thin piece of E-Paper and your daily newspaper automatically arrived for you to read it, and all you had to do was click a button and it turned to the next page. That’s exciting, and hopefully it will bring an end to size constraints for comics. Personally, I’d love to draw 7 inches high and 2 feet wide dailies like Milton Caniff and the rest of the cartoonists did. But I also think the web is exciting too, and once advertising payments start to rise, I think cartoonists will become less worried. The big problem is that syndicates aren’t the only game in town anymore for comic strip cartoonists and young cartoonists have to understand that it’s even more competitive now getting an audience than it was even five years ago.
