How about powering the Labour party - Cheap, low power and not designed to last more than a few weeks :)

I can see this being used in disposable e-ink applications. Daily newspaper with changing headlines? With printable batteries and silicon, it could in time get cheap enough to implement. Bang in a bluetooth module and you could even have it update with breaking news using your mobile to hook into the internet.

Or a lightweight alternative to a book - many people buy paperback books to read once. A single sheet paperback could be a winner, holding a single book on a small low capacity flash chip, a simple processor to render it, and a printed power cell with enough charge to get through a couple of reads (e-book readers are famously frugal on power). You could have a book seller working from a stall with a hundred thousand choices of book, any of which is quickly transferred to a one use e-book reader for a few pounds. Cheap enough to throw away, or part exchange for a new one and send the reusable components back to the factory for reprocessing into a new one.

I am a genius.

I love the disposable eReader idea but I really think that environmental impact of throwing away after a single use would be bad. Shame the technology isn't quite there yet.
