Disadvantage of e-paper for organizations

So far, everything about e-paper seems great for a lot of organizations. Unfortunately, e-paper also has flaws. Firstly, the technology behind e-paper cannot support animation. Secondly, e-paper only has the option of displaying in black and white and a range of gray tones. This lack of color is a huge disadvantage since colored images are of great value in newspapers and magazines. Thirdly, piracy has become a huge source of problems for organizations in certain types of markets (like music, movies and games). With e-books, it could be easy for organizations to lose a lot of money from piracy. Manuel Viloria, a multimedia internet publishing coach, warns organizations that with e-books, your electronic book "can be easily emailed to someone living thousands of miles away. It can even be placed in a public server for anyone to download".
