Purpose:
Talk about the fast growing electronic paper market and Feedbooks, a universal e-paper platform compatible with all e-paper formats and devices.
Feedbooks:
Feedbooks is a utility that allows people to download, publish, share and comment all kinds of e-paper content such as books, articles, or posts, and create their own newspapers from multiple RSS feeds and widgets.
Feedbooks is already offering thousands of public domain e-books and delivering hundreds of customized newspapers daily to users across the world
Electronic Paper (e-Paper):
Electronic paper is a pretty unique technology offering on digital screens the same resolution and contrast as print on normal paper. E-paper content is typically read from e-paper devices (Sony, Philips, Panasonic, Bookeen, etc.) and offers users many advantages over traditional paper:
- Readable in any ambient light conditions, easy on the human eye (no backlighting)
- Extended battery life (several weeks)
- Lightweight, easy to hold, carry and use
- Environment-friendly: 150g e-paper devices can hold over 160 digital versions of traditional paper books
- Ability for constant updating from a network, so that you can receive your favourite newspaper wirelessly
Note that while the first generation of e-Paper is made of black and white displays, color displays will be released in 2008
Perspective:
As Digital Music and Video are in the process of revolutionizing their respective markets, e-Paper is about to have a similar impact on the Publishing, Press, and other markets where common paper has been the main support.
The e-paper market is indeed growing fast: According to Afaics, over 40 million e-Book devices will be sold in 2010, representing about $12Bn in retail value, which explains why global players are heavily investing in the technology.
Manufacturers (Sony, Philips…), Publishers (Harper Collins, Hachette…), internet giants (Google, Amazon…) and even governments (French Ministry of Education is running e-paper pilots) have all embraced the e-paper (r)evolution, and consumers are already able to access free and premium e-paper content across the world.
