Current e-paper prototypes require a box on the side, thus making them not nearly as convenient as normal paper. With this, any circuitry could be built right in. It'd be just a flat sheet, nothing else. If we married this with flexible batteries (which have been invented), you could get a whole computer in that paper. Maybe even use a photosensitive dye on the back, generating its own power. Bit of a pipe dream...

I did read the summary, don't be so hostile.
