Post Greetings and Idea

Hi everyone. I have been reading MobileRead for about a year now while watching the industry develop. It is finally getting particularly exciting with a variety of large screened E-ink displays coming out. In terms of hardware: we can expect innovation and for prices to drop... For books - more and with lower prices.

I am working on a piece I intend to publish via Amazon, about the political economy of hummus.

I have two concepts to share.

1) There are dual screen e-readers to help acquire and organize content to view on the e-ink display. I would like to see a program on a smart phone or ipod which would control the e-reader, much like the Nook or Entourage Edge.

2) How about an E-reader directly for the academic world? The entourage edge is close. We need a large E-ink display, which is capable of viewing in portrait and landscape (the entourage edge E-ink display does not rotate), the ability to annotate with running list/export of citation material, and excellent organizational capacity (unfortunately lacking in most current gen devices).
