Future/Now
“…For their 75th anniversary, Esquire magazine’s October issue is going steadfast into the future… Incorporating Amazon Kindle’s e-paper technology, [the cover] will feature an electronic ink display cover powered by a special battery said to last for approximately 90 days. The cover, which will flash the words “The 21st Century Begins Nowâ€, reflects the issue’s subject matter which focuses on future issues, people, and ideas.” [Gay Gadget]
