Whole Foods (by Amazon) already has e-ink price tags for everything. So not out of the realm of possibility.

It's a possibility for sure, but Amazon also is a technology company, so they have a big advantage on that end.

Kroger has not seemed to embraced technology to that extent yet. I'm guessing not Aldi either, but I don't shop there.

Walmart would be the next logical company to do it.

Kroger has barely embraced self-checkout lanes. The one near me only just recently decided to put a couple in.

They've had them for quite some time here and have been expanding them, but I wouldn't exactly call that cutting-edge technology.
