The Terrafugia has been undergoing taxi-testing, and they hope for flight testing in December. I wouldn't hold them to that, but they're working on it. It's a group near Boston--if I remember correctly, some people from MIT. One big challenge was getting auto safety certification.
The other I only just heard about today. But both have been written up in serious aviation circles. Which is not to say that your fears couldn't be proven correct, of course.
And, um, I've read you can get aviation charts for the Sony Reader (just to keep a tenuous connection to ebooks here).
