Can a "Drinkable Book" Solve the World's Water Crisis? short answer = No

as much i would love to see a chance, i have seen so many potential ideas from people all over the world, but there is alway's someting that will chance and that is greed and big corperations, goverments and powers that will do everything to stop this. And that is the honest truth. I wish it was different..

Well now there are 3 (that I know of) filtering water filtering technologies. We have the old-school tablets, we have the LifeSaver bottle/canister (post in #2 link), and now we also have this DrinkableBook. Each has its clear pro-cons, but no matter which solution, I should think that combination of the three is much better than relying on just one.

Tablets: Super easy to transport/carry and deploy, but there is only a limited amount of tablets in one package so you must ensure they get used on larger quantities of water (as much as one tablet can cover) otherwise you are just wasting, and they are likely to run out far sooner than the other two solutions.

LifeSaver: Incredible idea for disaster area response. The technology appears sound, effective and sufficient, but the solution appears rather impractical for the "common" daily life in third world countries.

Drinkable Book: I would say this solution has the application exactly opposite to that of the LifeSaver solution. It is bulky, clearly not meant for emergencies or for use on the go, but for the "common" daily life in third world countries, this solution appears to be the clear winner. It even provides available, yet easily to ignore (if so desired), education about water habits to stay safe.

So now aid providers, governments and all the involved can see that we have a fair range of solutions to the varied water crises... And yet I doubt we are going to see any significant improvement in our lifetime.
