What would work is a reader with a 9.7" screen, Mirasol or a new generation of e-ink, that has the same refresh rate as an LCD. My guess is that we are still 1-2 years away from such a device.
The main reason I disliked Mirasol based on the prototype(youtube) is that the contrast rate is deemed off chart. E-ink is still the king of highest contrast ratio and the main reason why us geeky academic loves it. Sadily, no one gives a rat arse about us serious book-worms, every manufacturer goes for some novel, light-reading materials.
