Don't have to worry about breaking the screen... but how's the battery life?
I'm reliably informed that the screen will retain data for over 5,000 years. So battery life isn't a problem.

Refresh rate is the main drawback.

Ah, but is it a backlit clay tablet?

You can't backlight clay silly.



It's front lit.

If dropped, clay tablets can break (see, e.g., Moses coming down mountain with 15 commandments). But styluses shouldn't be expensive. Reading them at night though, I don't know.

They'd likely have a matte finish (no glare) and you could likely make a hole to attach your favourite light, so night reading shouldn't be too bad (although contrast might suffer from shadowing so maybe not ).
