minus-square@ikilledlaurapalmerlink6•11 months agoWhole Foods (by Amazon) already has e-ink price tags for everything. So not out of the realm of possibility.
minus-squareFlying Squidlink4•11 months agoIt’s a possibility for sure, but Amazon also is a technology company, so they have a big advantage on that end.
