I'm a news junkie, and the power and allure of a newspaper's front page have always fascinated me. When I stumbled upon an article written by a Google engineer who had built an e ink device with the front page of his favorite daily newspaper prominently displayed on his wall, I was a bit jealous. So, I worked with a e-ink company called Visionect in Slovenia to build a version that comes shipped ready to put on your wall. The screen isn't cheap ($2500) because it's a huge 32" e-ink display. The beautiful glass screen is connected to wifi and we made it easy to choose your favorite newspaper frontpages to put on display. It's a bit like an ever changing artwork.

That's pricey. Perhaps using a normal 4k monitor is a better option? It could even display video. You could couple it with a motion sensor to turn it off and save power when noone is around.

I can't help but notice you are using “ (U+201C : LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK {double turned comma quotation mark}) instead of ″ (U+2033 : DOUBLE PRIME {seconds, inches}) in the headline.

I apologize for the grave mistake.

No. That would become another screen in your house. I think the power of this concept is it begin e-ink.

That sounds like a very different product from what they're offering here.

Eink feels close to paper, regular LCD's or OLED's do not.

Sounds like an interesting project, how/where does it fetch the data from?
