I don't know if you are in the same world as me because I'm always looking for any technology-related, especially semiconductor-related, any device, and software. Nowadays, I am exciting about implement those new technologies into real device like The Sony Reader which uses e-Ink screen to be closer to real paper, it's really close; you'd got to see by yourself. However, I found another group has tried to make a paper more than just a paper, reusable paper. I found two kinds of them;
1. e-blue which is erasable ink.
Basically, it's like an ordinary ink that uses with your printer, but the special thing is it can be re-color to be transparent! All you need is an ink and an erasing machine. I have no idea if it released but I will find out.

2. plastic paper
This method differs to previous one. The point is they made a new kind of paper which can change its color back and forth for hundreds of times. This paper made of the same type of plastic that uses for bottles of fizzy drinks; it can change its color by heat (actually by CO2 emission). This kind of paper is used in real world now, Japan.

Very interesting to me. Both ways are pretty good. Even they are still too expensive to use in every household, I am sure it won't be too long; we will have opportunity to use at affordable price. As I mentioned at first, I am one of folks who are looking for anything replacing a paper (In fact, I still prefer to read in physical paper), but another group are trying to invent something new to make a paper better in a way I never think of! Wow that's why we are different, isn't it?
