Word is out that Esquire magazine is going to publish its October edition with the cover in e-paper.

If you've never heard of it, e-paper is something that's been talked about in the newspaper industry for the last two or three years. It's a flexible, foldable digital screen that you download your daily (or hourly) news onto. Then you can take it with you wherever you go.

Think of "The Daily Prophet" in the Harry Potter movies. Not only would you have static stories and photos, but also video.

Amazon's Kindle is sort of a paleo version of e-paper.

If they can ever get the technology right, this would fundamentally change how we deliver and consume news. A possibly even save my job.
