How low is low voltage and low power? How thick is it? Flexible? Is it along the lines of the Esquire cover, where the text is preset, or can it includes pixels?

Your book idea would be neat. Still wouldn't be cheap. Most books are 9"x6" (octavo) format, and if you figure 300 pages, that would work out to be 3,240,000 square inches for 81 euros ($115 USD). That is just for the display, and it would be a nightmare to control all that.
