I remember back in like 2004 wanting some sort of a temporary print thing that would allow you to take online articles on the subway without wasting paper and ink, and not being LCD based, as I'd spent a whole day looking at one.
I also found myself regularly carrying a newspaper and a book in my bag, as I'd often get tired of one and want a change of pace.
An eInk reader is kinda there. What would be nice is something A4 size that's foldable for pocket-ability and not easily damaged. But those are pretty high goals, I reckon. The 6" displays are fine until something really cool comes along, like eink that you can roll our of a a thin roll or something.
