this doesnt seem to be happening anytime soon (Score 2, Informative)

I remember seeing an article in a technology magazine a few years ago about electronic books with electronic paper and electronic ink. Apparently, this ink, when charged, would flip from black to white (or something like that). So you could buy the electronic book, download a text from the net for a nominal fee, and have the book automatically typeset itself for the novel. They also touted its ability to do fancy things like animation, font size changes, etc. Never heard anything more about this though (not that I know of at least, but I may have missed something). Sounds like quite the concept, but the technology for some reason hasn't materialized into something mainstream yet.
