We haven’t heard from the folks at IRX Innovations in a while, but if this video is any indication, they haven’t given up on their e-reader dreams just yet. A wily internet video shows the outfit squeezing a modest 6 fps out of an AUO Sipix e-paper panel. Playback is noticeably choppy, but IRX engineers say they can eek an additional 10 fps from the unit by running content through a memory buffer. It’s a far cry from Mirasol’s crazy-smooth 1080p color displays , or even Bookeen’s anti-chromatic offering — but we won’t complain if they can keep it cheap .
