Polymer Vision, Plastic Logic, LG Philips, PVI and others are all working on thin and flexible E Ink displays, and they are all likely concerned with durability. The only action that I would have a tough time imagining as possible, is crumpling up the paper at the very end, and you probably wouldn't want to do that anyway.
