The giant e-paper display is just a demo of Delta's e-paper. Currently, Prime View International, another Taiwanese company, supplies Amazon e-paper to be used in Kindle. However, Taiwanese Delta and Japanese Bridgestone (Yes, the tire maker) jointly develop a new kind of e-paper. The display technology, Quick Response Liquid Powder Display, is actually developed by Bridgestone for processing recycle tires. The new product will be cheaper and we can expect cheaper e-book reader this year.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
