Concept: Foldable E-Ink newspaper display

The Page, designed by Jae Kim.

With all the buzz surrounding iPad this and iPad that, it’s nice to see someone else thinking outide the box when it comes to reinventing the way we read newspapers and other print media.  Designer Jae Kim has conceptualized The Page, a foldable display that features a semi-transparent E-Ink screen that displays text and images.  Screens that can bend into various shapes and sizes have been conceptually implemented in the past, so this certainly isn’t the first player to the game.  However, it does feature a number of interesting UI enhancements, including automatic column formatting depending on its shape and interactive page navigation on a flat surface.  Check it out in all its concept-y glory in the video above.  There’s some stills waiting below, too.
