The electronic e-reader concept by Mayo Nissen could be how the national newspapers win back their receding readership in 2015. The day’s news scrolls across the front page and the further you unroll it, the more detail on each headline story is displayed.
The paper and ink publishers have been fighting a losing battle with online newscasters that can update their stories as it happens, but the e-paper could change that.
We don’t have many details on exactly how it works as it’s merely a concept currently, but the flexible display is presumably an OLED or e-ink screen that scrolls the news across however much of it is unrolled.
On the train, you might just want to read all the headlines and only read certain stories in more detail. You could update your e-paper whenever you get the chance - a bit like Sony’s Digital Reader - so you’ll always be up to date. It would certainly save on trees, but how would you wrap your chips up in it?

Great concept, looks like it’s in colour too. Would like to see more e-readers in the UK.
