A dark side to E-paper?


After all the advantages that I have mentionned previously, it is hard to think of a disadvantage for companies to start implementing the use of e-paper.

However, just like any new and emerging information technology, e-paper is not flawless. In fact it is said that e-paper has a very low "refresh rate" when compared to other LCD technologies like computer and television screens. This means that the zooming and transition from one page to another is rather slow.

Also, let us not forget that the implentation of this technology for organizations is bound to be costly. I still believe though, that in the long run, e-paper will be very beneficial and very profitable for companies willing to use it.
