Who's IDE doesn't have all that and a bag of chips?
That was not my point in the post.

In comparison, code on paper (even fancy electronic paper) is 'dead'. The main things I'd be able to review in such a format - style and structure - are already fairly well covered by automated tools that keep a team of over eighty people 'singing from the same sheet'.
I'd still welcome a large format reader - my main reason for jumping into e-books was to reduce the number of two-inch thick reference books I accumulate each year - but the quality and complexity of navigation through code is not something I'd ever expect an e-reader to support.

Not looking to have a reader support code files natively, then again such a tool dedicated to a given language and/or IDE might be a really neat tool...PixelQi on a tablet anyone?
