Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device,
Date
2007.
Description
When the Kindle was first launched in 2007, the book could also now appear on a digital screen via new E Ink technology rather than on paper. E Ink technology was commercialized in 1997 by two MIT undergraduate students, J. D. Albert and Barrett Comiskey. E-reader screens using the technology are made up of layers of electrodes, transparent micro-capsules, positively charged white pigments, negatively charged black pigments, and transparent oil, sandwiched between two layers of plastic.
