2008-07-30 20:20:47 by Joel Johnson in Boing Boing Gadgets
...Esquire 's animated 75th anniversary cover is the flashing, squawking future of magazines It's pretty easy to see the far future. Cheap, disposable e-paper magazines on subway newsstands and on the racks of your airport's Hudson News. Each one thin, flexible, disposable. Just a couple of pages, with bright, glossy color, wirelessly updated...

On Esquire's Stupid E-Ink Cover [Media]

2008-07-23 16:17:38 by Brian Lam in Gizmodo
...Esquire To me and many others, Esquire is a legendary publication best known for its features and covers, but they've seen better days. (This year they won no national magazine awards .) I remember when I was at Wired, we proudly did a Banksy feature, before he was easy to find and unmasked and all that. Esquire assigned a feature later on,...

Esquire e-ink cover a pathetic disappointment

Esquire's much-hyped e-ink cover has been spotted in the wild, and as the months and years unfurl ahead of us, merely quoting the lede of Joel's wildly idealistic July feature to him will be enough to solicit hot, briny tears... tears that will stream down his grizzled cheeks, sampled by the method of your choosing: either by collecting them in...

...Esquire's lamentably designed e-ink edition, and there's good news: Esquire has delivered their promise to cheaply sell hackable e-paper to hackers. There are 2 e-ink screens with flex connections (these are pricey connections). It looks like it was made to be reprogrammed and different screens I think someone out there will likely reflash...

E Ink responsible for Esquire's flashing magazine cover

2008-07-21 09:45:00 by Darren Murph in Engadget
...Esquire will likely be the poster child for the change. According to David Granger, Esquire's editor in chief, rags have generally "looked the same for 150 years," but all that will change when 100,000 copies of the September issue arrive on newsstands with a flashing electronic cover. The E Ink technology used will be exclusively available...

Esquire Print Mag Will Use E-Ink Cover

2008-07-23 03:30:17 by Charlie Sorrel in Gadget Lab
...Esquire first thought up the idea eight years ago, but the technology was still too clunky. Since then, the Kindle has gone on sale, and the same company that invented the tech used in Amazon's device -- E Ink -- is making the covers. The price, although undisclosed, is prohibitive, and Ford has been brought in as a "sponsor": A moving car ad...

Esquire's October edition, featuring the e-ink cover we, ahem, covered in July, has hit the newsstands. Blogger Ryan Joseph found one in Borders, snapped it up and posted a video so those of us unlucky enough to miss out on the 100,000 print run can enjoy the annoying ad-platform of the future So how does it look? Actually, terrible. Instead...

Esquire's E-Ink Display Dismantled. Result: Hackable

2008-09-09 02:44:17 by Charlie Sorrel in Gadget Lab
Esquire took a bold (and expensive) step in releasing the World's first magazine with an e-ink cover (or more correctly a small e-ink patch on a cover). The internet said "Boo But it might not be so bad -- Esquire may have just put a cheap and hackable pair of e-ink panels into the hands of 100,000 hackers. Over at Make, the inimitable Phil...
