You can't really tell by the demo video, but it had memory so you could type a document (or a college paper) and use the little screen to edit any mistakes before printing it. It used thermal paper to print, so you could print multiple copies. ETA: I think this was the model I had, which was surprisingly lightweight - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/VINTAGE-CASI...-/223096097032

I bet if Casio was still around and producing eReaders we would have some really cool devices.
Casio is still around. They just don't make eReaders. They do make phones, so you could say the do make Ereaders.
