It is a nice idea, but in my opinion it doesn't make sence. An E-Ink screen make sence for reading books but where are the advantages of this type of screens as a second PC screen?
A 17" LCD costs nothing ans I see a lot of advantages of it.

Also the Idea of using a reader as touchpad makes no sence. You can buy a standard Touchpad for 100€ with much more functions, such as pressure sensitivity, buttons and eraser on the pen and so on.
