I am the Lorax I speak for the trees
This paper does please
As long as it’s made without pollution release
And when it is old and no longer works
Will they take the stuff or act like true jerks
Paper’s renewable, if they plant the new trees
But stopping the cutting would be such release
So in everything look for the whole consquence
and check with the neigbor, who is over the fence
this sounds so exciting let’s give it a go
butremember that ewaste is also a NO!

If they were cheap enough, they'd make a great display for, say, Specials of the Day displays at restaurants or similar small business signage applications. You'd no longer have to pay for printing of temporary posters, you could just pay the graphic designer to make you a nicer looking one. Of course, with the black and white you'll have to be extra creative to look nice, but it's basically a return to ink-block printing or etching so we know it can be done well.

Also, I'd love to have one of these in a picture frame for B&W photo prints or art I've made for it myself. LCD monitors are okay for display but they still look like monitors and consume power while they work. However, the resolution is likely too low for this to really look good for photos as opposed to graphic design aimed within its limitations.

I agree with emmv about the wallpaper. That would be really fun, even in black and white. I imagine OCD people might use it to label the spots all their kitchen items reside in to help keep order.

Spelled “flexible” wrong in the headline, although “flexibible” sounds like a catchy idea for when this thing gets into religious texts.

I like the wallpaper idea, but color is a must for that (and it's already available on small scales).

But this form factor doesn't seem too appealing for portable use. I'd prefer a "paper" that folds from iphone to tablet and then to big screen size, like taking an A3 paper and folding it down into smaller formats (only reverse).

Then you can turn your phone into an ebook reader, and if you want to disturb your metro-driving neighbors, into this big newspaper format.

On a sidenote, it's funny to see that most of the trends from Microsoft's Vision 2019 video are already coming in 2010 or 2011. Samsung's see-through displays, this e-newspaper, remote gesture interfaces like in Project Natal.

I agree that e-paper for screens and newspaper may fail. But consider the applications as the prices will drop (as they will inevitably): all your walls will be displays. The killer application for e-paper is wallpaper.
