Of course it is, I am just waiting for a cost-effective and format-free device to be available. Using an obsolete b/w display with backlight switched off is only the closest solution to e-paper.

Any other type of reading device that requires backlight to make things visible on the screen, like LCD monitors have a lamp behind the screen, would damage your eyes to a certain degree. I think Nokia's screens fall into the same category as TFT/LCD monitors.

Setting the e-book's backgroung to "black" (on ANY lcd/tft display) is a trick to obtain the least light emission from the screen. The result is not so bad and using a mobile phone as a reading device is maybe the best way to have always your library with you.
