electronic paper

Rumor of the day

Mon, 09/01/2008 - 16:52 — katina.strauch

Rush out and buy the October 2008 issue of Esquire magazine, hitting newstands in September. Reportedly, Esquire, celebrating its 75th anniversary, will release the October issue with an electronic paper cover featuring "words and images that scroll across the flexible electronic page." Also the inside cover will contain the "first e-paper advertisement, with automaker Ford pitching its new Flex vehicle in a double-page ad." 100,000 copies will be printed. Pretty cool, right? Who said librarianship was dull?

2008-06-27 With all of the discussion and controversy over libraries lending Amazon's Kindle, we are interested to hear what Against the Grain readers think. We have posted a new poll on the front page to see how many libraries have bought a Kindle, and we have created a new forum where you can chime in about and tell us what you think.
