The Page is a prototype E-reader concept by designer Jae Kim that uses a semi-transparent e-ink screen to display image and text. The project aims to find a more appropriate way to interact with newspapers in a digital context. The concept marries the affordability of print and online newspapers into a new device. For starters the E-reader folds into segments much like newsprint, allowing it to be spread out on a table, or folded up neatly on the train. This differs from other E-readers, which invent a new format that strays from the original. Beyond the product design Kim also designed a flexible grid system that allows users to see content in a broad way like in the newspaper, while also being able to directly interact and alter content like on the web.
