Although, E-paper is a great invention with many advantages, there are, like most other form of technology, disadvantages. Firstly, E-book readers are expensive. They start at $359. Moreover, e-Paper tends to have a very low refresh rate compared to LCDs. For example, because of this limitation, a document cannot be zoomed properly without it being blurred. This could disadvantage advertisers in a way which consumers will not be satisfied with the slowness of what they can access. Furthermore, E-paper displays are presently only availavle in black and white. Also, redrawing an image on an electronic paper takes more time than it does on an LCD screen which makes this technology impractical for animation.
