This slide really surprised me because I always thought that these displays that are meant to look like paper were the same as all the usual LCD, LED, etc. with just specifically tuned brightness values to achieve the effect, but evidently that was not the case and they are their own kind of display entirely.
If you visit Best Buy in Emeryville, take a look at the little plastic tags that have the product name, price, and other info on them. They are little color e-ink displays.
