I'm wondering if anyone has conceived of an Ultra Mini, or a Micro-Mini(If I may be allowed to get away with that) which would be a very small device. One line of text display, maybe two, and when you touch it or nearly touch it(IR), or on a timed basis, the text scrolls to the next line. Front light it and make it minimal. The perfect thing to take up barely no room in a pocket with gorilla glass or a built-in cover. Two button, or IR, interface with simple menus.
Minimalist. Black metal, simple. Perfect device for speed readers because no scanning left to right would be optimal, or left to right scrolling could be employed if the battery could take the hit. Probably not.
Cheap, simple, and I bet somebody has one ready to go somewhere. Imagine if they could be made cheaply enough to be a dedicated device you just pick up like a book and go. Charging might be the only concern and extra batteries could be supplied.
The big let down, probably not feasible in terms of many more refreshes required per page, but the display would be smaller and should consume far less current per refresh...
