For the past few months, I’ve been exploring ways the Sheridan Sun could leverage electronic paper.
I think it could be a way for the newspapers of the future to retain the user friendly layout of conventional paper-based content, something that the Web arguably still hasn’t matched, while freeing publications (like ours) of the constraints of space, ad to ed. ratios, etc. Plus the environmental advantages of e-paper could make the technology something the industry will have no choice but to embrace.
The blog link below is from an opponent of using e-paper as a vehicle for traditional newspapers. the writer argues that it’s foolish to constrain e-paper with conventaionl print content. Others defend the idea.
If you are interested… the link is here:
