I just found this article: http://www.editorsweblog.org/analysis/2007/04/part_1_the_paperless_paper.php analyzing the outcome of the De Tijd-project.
It turned out that the test users associated the electronic reading experience with the classical paper rather than an online newspaper edition. Consequently, they were expecting the look and feel of the print product, but now projected onto their mobile e-reading pane. No particular interest in last minute updates, that is in this instance. As such, the [iRex iLiad] device was evaluated as a complementary tool, the ideal travel companion. A pleasant add-on though; a good 45 per cent would consider purchasing the device if a regular journalistic service would be available.
The author appears to be from the IBBT team (https://projects.ibbt.be/epaper/) who researches on e-paper.
