Actually, I've not been able to keep current on what's actually been prototyped and what's still just marketing vaporware...I still have images in my head of that video of the kid unfolding the smart-paper.
When I think "semi rugged" I think "rubber bumpers and clear plastic over the screen" like my Casio watch.
For a watch, it's pretty good, but for an e-reader, I'm dreaming of something more substantial, like you can put it in your pants pocket or toss it in your pack with out a second thought.
