Video appears in paper magazines
Source: BBC

The first-ever video advertisement will be published in a traditional paper magazine in September.
The video-in-print ads will appear in select copies of the US show business title Entertainment Weekly.
The slim-line screens - around the size of a mobile phone display - also have rechargeable batteries.
The chip technology used to store the video - described as similar to that used in singing greeting cards - is activated when the page is turned.
Each chip can hold up to 40 minutes of video

So is that magazine still technically a "paper" publication?

Also makes me wonder - how much profit do companies have to make to cover their costs ?

2. Couldn't care less about the ad..
But as a mega-nerd I'm very interested in the free disposable LCD screens and the rechargeable battery.
