Esquire’s E-Ink Display Dismantled. Result: Hackable
(No Ratings Yet)

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 Torrone has torn the assembly apart and found a wealth of user-modifiable gubbins inside:
That’s right. For the price of a magazine, any capable hacker can play with a couple of e-ink panels. I will be fitting mine into a pair of spectacles and programming them to show a pair of clear, bright and blinking eyes. That way I can sleep my hangovers off at my desk and none of the Wired.com editors will even notice (I usually snore while I am awake anyway).
