E Ink Display On Cover Of October Esquire
The owner of Esquire said Tuesday that it plans to publish the magazine’s October issue using so-called electronic ink to mark the publication’s 75th anniversary.
Hearst said the issue will feature a cover across which various words and images will scroll ” news-ticker style — thanks to technology developed by Cambridge, Mass.-based E Ink.
Print publishing is a content distribution medium on the decline, but this technology could certainly postpone the inevitable. How long Kindle and kin can be held at bay remains to be seen, but I do think I’ll be buying the October Esquire.
