Posted by [Carolyn Tusinski](https://blog.eink.com/author/carolyn-tusinski) on 2023-10-31 Where is all the ePaper? I went to sleep with my Paperwhite in my hand. I had the strangest experience. I dreamt of Halloween – tricks. treats, pranks, costumes and parties. This is strange because I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since high school. I do like the candy, however.   ![halloween-candy](https://blog.eink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/halloween-candy.jpg?width=300&height=200&name=halloween-candy.jpg) Yum, candy! Image: Google   I woke up – it was Halloween Day. Everything seemed the same as the day before. One thing was off – couldn’t find the Paperwhite. I looked a little, figured it was tangled in my comforter. Ok, you caught me – I don’t make my bed ever day! ![Paperwhite amber light](https://blog.eink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Paperwhite%20amber%20light.png?width=300&height=217&name=Paperwhite%20amber%20light.png) Paperwhite. Image: Amazon   I start my day. It was unusual because I needed to make some stops before I went to the office. First stop was an electronic big box store. Something was off. I realized that the shelf labels were paper. I know they had ePaper electronic shelf labels the last time I was there. Odd.   I went to get some breakfast at a chain diner. The menu boards were so bright. LCD? But last week they were ePaper. ![Menu board](https://blog.eink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Menu%20board.jpg?width=300&height=232&name=Menu%20board.jpg) Image: E Ink   I went into the office – I tried, anyway. E Ink wasn’t there! Some random office building was in its place.   ![office bldg Free 3D](https://blog.eink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/office%20bldg%20Free%203D.jpg?width=300&height=259&name=office%20bldg%20Free%203D.jpg) NOT E Ink US headquarters. Image: Free 3D   I drove past a bus stop – no kiosks with scheduling information. Ok, something is up.   ![Connectpoint Digital Bus Stop 2](https://blog.eink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Connectpoint%20Digital%20Bus%20Stop%202.jpg?width=300&height=435&name=Connectpoint%20Digital%20Bus%20Stop%202.jpg) Image: Connectpoint   Starting to put the pieces together. I am in a world without ePaper! How could this be?? Totally freaked out, I headed home. Tried to get some work done but I was totally distracted. So, I took a nap. It was a pretty long nap. I woke up the next morning – there was my Paperwhite! Retraced my steps from the day before – menus, electronic shelf tags, bus kiosks. What a relief! I don’t want to live in a world without ePaper!
