That said, it does look nice, although... now that I see it, I'm not sure I like the big form factor. My 6" Sony Reader is a perfect size. (Queue up the size matters joke.):

The 8x11 size would be nice for my client docs, however, I would definitely wait until they have a color screen so that I could yellow highlight (or pink, or blue or green).

I would have asked, "Are there any parts that are edible?" You know ... sort of a go with what you know approach.

So the flexibility is largely just to avoid problems of scaling up the conventional solid substrates that are used in the readers from Sony, Amazon, etc? If that's an enabler of larger screens, I'm all for it. I love my Sony for reading fiction but a larger device for reading the billions of PDFs that exist (and do so without conversion or reflow) would be excellent.
