In the view of Sean and I, there's been a collision course between what's now being termed "heritage media" and New Media for a while, and we're convinced that eInk and digital readers are finally entering the stage where they're becoming a viable device for regular media consumption. At the same time online news sources are formatting their data in a manner both visually condusive to magazine stylings as well as making available full RSS feeds, which work perfectly in these sorts of digital devices.

In today's Mashable Conversations, Sean and I spend a bit talking about some of these trends as well as show off some of the video we've shot and collected of the relevent devices (the Sony Reader, the Amazon Kindle, PlasticLogic's device and the Esquire 75th Anniversary e-Ink). You can see it all by watching the embed above or by downloading the MP4 directly.
