A reflective color LCD with an optional backlight might get close to this, but otherwise it's probably going to take an entirely new technology to really make this happen. Development, testing and eventually marketing may bring it to the masses, but we're talking a period of years at the minimum for something like this.

I'm just hoping the entire market doesn't go tablet in the meantime. I read on a backlit LCD sometimes because I have to, not because I want to.
