The only way I could see it working is if Liquavista was better than both LCD and e-ink and replaced them both. This seems very unlikely at this time. I would expect to see more development from other manufacturers by now if it was feasible.
Amazon have shown that it's possible to have a glass front to a high-end eReader by careful texturing of the glass (i.e. the Voyage).

Liquavista tech probably will use glass when it first becomes available, but I think it could prove to be a much better display than E-Ink, although it probably can't match high end LCD displays.

While I don't really notice the page turn delay at the moment on single page turns, it's obvious when trying to swiftly scan through a document. A much faster reflective display tech would go down very well with me, even if still only greyscale.
