Did you notice how crinkled/lined/creased the display was?

I know a few companies have been working on flexible eink displays like that but don't think I've seen any make it out to the market.

Yeah, I noticed. Still cool though.

When flexible displays get nailed down, it'll revolutionize so many things. Knowing that kids are prone to break things, non-breakable displays will allow ereaders into the classroom. Picture a tiny computer in your pocket with a wireless, fold up display using voice commands.

Lots of potential.

Non-breakable and kids are mutually exclusive terms.

Parent: "It was too quiet in the kitchen ans when I went in the kids were..."

When little kids learn to make a little noise at times like these the end is nigh.

Apple was suppose to release 7 and 8" versions of their iPAD. I guess they won't now. 7" is okay and easy to carry. 10.2" or higher would be more ideal for corporate meeting. If they can get 7" 800x600 @ 16:9 size would be more ideal but I guess the cost would factor in. Right now the 7" 800x480 kinda cuts off part of the viewing angle.

Any mention of Apple, directly or indirectly, is clearly religion.

Thanks. I also do a few political boards and one of the reasons I like these "hobby" boards is to escape the contentious nature of those places. But that's not always the case. Just try telling people you won't get a Nook because its battery life isn't long enough and it doesn't come in black - LOL.
