I'm a web admin/computer-programmer and look forward to electronic paper devices.

I knew screens would evolve into using reflected light, just as TV's evolved into being flat. it's a natural progression.

The eye strain of an LCD screen is two fold.
1.) it's a bunch of little lights shining in directly at you.
2.) if flickers with the refresh.

Electronic paper takes care of both of these at the expense of slowing change times.

However it's perfectly suited for what I use the computer for 90% of the time.

Reading or typing.

Most of my day is spent writing programs or administering a computer via a linux terminal.

Most of the pages I read, tech manuals, blogs and articles, load fine on my blackbery, I can only imagine this functionality must carry over into the illiad
