By the time
I'm in my sixties [nearly four decades from now] I doubt phones will look anything like they do today. They might output straight to the otherwise transparent OLED in my glasses. Or at the very least feature collapsible screens.
Now I never said phones, at least as they are now, made great "books". Mine is tolerable for casual reading, though unusable for formatted documents, and even my early 20s eyes would prefer something with a larger display. It would be most excellent if that something could also do other things that would benefit from its screen real estate. Such as web browsing and note taking. Not that this device would actually
replace similar functionality on my smart phone. The phone is still more convenient since I always have it with me.
