I have seen older Youtube videos showing earlier prototypes from Plastic Logic. They could really bend the screen like a thin piece of paper. Later they said they decided to go with a rigid version, because test users said that the flexible one wasn't very usable. My guess is that this is because you would always need a firm surface to place it on before using the touch screen. Anyway, what they will be selling is still plastic, thus it won't break easily and should be very light weight.
