Imagine yourself going to a news stand and picking up Esquire’s September issue. Its cover isn’t made out of paper as usual, actually, it’s electronic!

Wow!

Pretty soon I'll be reading all of my news from a digital medium with embedded video, fancy graphics, and sound!

The magazine industry, with the exception of a few mags, like People, is in decline and in trouble, just like their cousins and brothers in the newspaper business.

They’re just trying to do something digital to save their businesses in the digital age.

I couldn't tell from the article if this is some fancy electronic ink cover, or an LED blinking through a translucent sheet with the phrase printed on it. If it is the electronic ink, I will look for it and buy a copy just for the cover.
