Yeah, I can pretty much promise it's not fake. :-) I'm holding the magazine now. And look around...there's a huge writeup about it on Esquire's main page now.

You guys dont get the different between e-Ink and other forms of electronic displays.

E-INK IS NOT BACKLIT. It's physical particles under a magnetic charge which create a REAL image. It's not pixels on a computer screen. You can view e-ink from any angle, and it requires ZERO power to maintain an image. It only requires energy when you refresh the screen.

Your video is cool for about 5 seconds. Then I realized you were never going to flip the page or show me the ad as it bends or looking down the edge of the paper to show the thickness of the ad. Blah.

This is so fuck, buahhhhh!

@whiteeagletrance Newspapers wont have this because in a few years their biased crap will all be bankrupt. It's a dying media. Magazines, maybe.

E-ink wont be cheaper than ink until the manufacturing process is cheaper than ink. With Kindle & other e-readers with wifi and 3G access,theres no shipping costs; the magazine will be nothing but a novelty, should people adapt. I still use a camera for a camera, not my phone. I also have a ringtone that rings (well, and the Crank movie ringtone I made

@whiteeagletrance Damnit, I always knew we'd have video-on-paper one day, and THEY called me crazy. :)

[whiteeagletrance]

That´s not fake, dude! That´s real. In the near future the newspapers and most magazines will have this technology. This screens are super energy efficient. It works with physical particles under a magnetic charge... It only needs energy, if the screen change...

@claytonlisa

Your comment is meaningless. How is this "retarded"? E-ink is a relatively new technology that has never before been used in the print medium, they were the first ones to ever do it. They weren't saying that this is how magazines will be from now on, they're just showing off some nifty new tech possibilities. Don't be so quick to judge and throw out childish insults.
