Anticipation

News Flash From the Cover of Esquire: Paper Magazines Can Be High Tech, Too details the magazine Esquire's plans to celebrate 75 years of publishing with an electronic cover complete with E Ink, the substance that allows Amazon's Kindle to work without a backlight.

Only real drawback? The magazine cover will lose its battery power in about 90 days. So how do you preserve a dynamic magazine cover?

Thanks to Bibliofuture from LISNews for the head's up.
