My thought was "It's called an e-reader, stupid!" (I wasn't in a generous mood as I read his poorly thought-out post.)

I think what we need is flexible e-ink screens that are paper thin and can display on both sides. Then, we could bundle a large number of these paper-thin pages between some sort of cover...
