As an owner of a Wexler Flex One (world's first flexible ereader), I would like to chip in. Yes, it's featherweight, but also extremely durable (the Wexler I mean). Forget dropping it, I think you could play frisbee with it without damaging it (granted, I haven't tried that one). There is no question in my mind this is the future of ereaders - I, for one, will never buy a glass-backed reader again. When flexible screens go colour, they will be seriously useful, although still limited by the slow refresh rate.
