Well, look at it this way: You may want to write your own text on it, not with some keyboard, but with a "pen". I guess it won't be long until someone come up with a software that lets you make changes to text you read - imagine underlining important parts in newspapers which you want to read later, writing your comments in a book, or simply having a shopping list and marking what you already have. For example. I think eReaders - or devices based on eReaders - will make huge impact on us and the way we work. They are not for all, of course, but they offer a chance. Writing and printing was one of the most crucial developements in any human civilisation (right after language), we have a possibility to spread literature with speed and cost which would be unthinkable mere 100 years ago.
