Gamers Circle Comics in Folsom, CA (on East Bidwell) hosts little old me, as well as free pizza on Free Comic Book Day. I’ll be there starting at 11 or so, until sometime in the mid-afternoon. Ask questions about the magic of comics and I’ll [...]

Color e-ink on the way - Boing Boing

Like the title says.
So, e-ink is the kind of display used in the Kindle. Portable devices that show color are LCDs that are awful pretty, but have battery life issues.

Wherein I tell Tom a story.

The Comics Reporter
