Amazon has put on its war paint, pulled out its tomahawks, and declared all out war on the iPad. Since the iPad’s earlier release, Amazon has been acting irrationally, trying to keep the stranglehold it has on the market. First, it introduced the Kindle Apps, an obvious stake at one of the iPhone’s (and now, iPad’s)...

It was touted as the Kindle Killer (of course, what isn’t these days?), the death of publishing, the savior of publishing, and the latest and greatest in technogadgetry. The iPad. People have been gossiping and letting the rumors fly as to what this could possibly be, and how it could be used as an e-reader. Turns out, the iPad...

Hot on the trail of their CES 2010 announcement to do e-paper, LG shows off a prototype of their flexible e-paper display. Their flexible display is the largest (and perhaps most flexible and bendable) on the market, weighing in at a long 19″ and paper thin.

Philips has been working on a new, full color e-paper technology that uses only ambient light, and gives the effect of paints on paper. This new technology will not be used as you might think–it won’t be found in the next Kindle, Nook or e-reader.  It won’t be used to create newspapers or e-readers or magazines, not...

Three major Taiwanese manufacturers plan on entering the color e-paper market in 2010. Prime View International, Delta Electronics, and AU Optronics made this joint announcement during the symposium on Flexible Display and Electronics Technology in Taiwan earlier this week.

Earlier this year we gave a broad prediction that 2009 would end up being the year of the e-book, and that this year would be the year when e-readers took their hold and found mass market appeal. We made some broad speculations, based on the trends still booming from the new release of the Kindle 2 and it’s endorsement by Oprah. Now...
