[For personal book/media readers, a robust, rigid device makes the most sense.
Hmmm, flexible e-paper... digital window shades? Don't like looking out your window at your neighbor's back yard? Roll down your shade, and hit the "beach" button.[/QUOTE]
Yup, and yup.
Maybe they will make the blinds out of e-paper. Rigid is definitely what works, look at all the trouble people go through to read a newspaper on a bus. Fold and refold, shake so the corner will go in the right position, not to mention pointing it towards good lighting. Flexible e-paper is that hassle all over again, who would want that. My Cybook is so light and easy to carry and use, I would never go back to anything flexible again.
