It seems a bit lack luster, just like every other display with jagged letters, until one realises that the screen is actually *BENDING* while still displaying. Patently phenomenal.

@ Alex--
There's the chance that the Readius will have a short battery life, but the reviewer kept mentioning it as a mobile phone. No mobile really last for more than a day with use. Besides, if the Polymer Vision kids are smart enough, they will but a little on/off switch or script for whatever radio-dealy it has inside. My Treo has that option for Bluetooth, so I cannot imagine that it is so difficult to implement.
One of the videos had a representative for Readius talking about how they calculated a battery life around two weeks, I think. It was based on x hrs of reading/day and y page turns per minute. It sounds like screen battery drain is small and/or most of the device is made up of a big battery!
