It would be very cool if the military adopted e-ink readers (and whatever e-book format they chose would get a big boost too; but I wonder if they would tend to encrypt the files?).
But I'm kind of thinking that old fashioned paper works even in the field where there is no power, even if you've been there for two months. Yes, it's vulnerable to water but so are e-ink readers, and yes, you can waterproof e-ink readers, but the same for paper. A lot of paper gets very heavy, but the military moves heavy things all the time.
Dunno. It would be cool if it happened, though.
