E-Books and E-Publishing Primer-Aarkstore Enterprise Market Research
E' is for E-Paper: An Electronic Paper Primer for the Graphic Communications Industry, a basic, easy-to-read, 40+ page report of the rapidly developing market for flexible electronic displays, commonly referred to as "e-paper." (Written by Dr. Joe Webb)
E-paper has finally made it from the lab to consumers. As detailed in this report, Sony began shipping its long-awaited Portable Reader System, an e-paper-based e-book reader that has generated substantial buzz on the Internet and among book industry watchers and analysts. At the same time, in Europe, the iRex iLiad e-paper-based newspaper reader has been shipping since the summer and has garnered positive reviews and user feedback - despite its steep price tag.
