One of my fav future techs is IMOD =

In theory, this has ability to become e-paper doing as many colors as one 
wishes, just like current better (graphics/design grade) LCDs and more. 
With all expected advantages of e-paper (low energy, print-like and so 
on).

It is, however, few years before we will see anything like this in shops. 
Or maybe we can see it next year, but not really affordable for book 
reader.

But as a transhumanist, you should aim to make your own cakes and eating 
them, or having them, whatever you want.
