I'd certainly look forward to it, even though personally I would only be able to take advantage of any document optimization techniques.
But my fondest wish, ever since I got into eBooks in '98 with the Reb1100, and then started learning about e-ink displays, is that someone will port one or more TEXT-ADVENTURE / INTERACTIVE FICTION engines to something like the iRex! (after the SDK is available)
It would be a match made in haven: It does require a computer of sorts to parse the input/output (unlike a book) and it has lots of text (which is _always_ more pleasant to read on paper (unlike rather a computer-screen!
Plus, classic engines like Frotz/Inform have been ported to even the oldest/lowliest Palm PDAs (and Linux-likes, of course), so the iRex should have more than enough horse-power to handle it, and a screen-engine that should make for some really nice typography...
