True ... true ... you got me there. So, James Dyson will make an ebook reader with a really super nifty clean board.

The only drawback with Dysons is that they are rather heavy. I do my mother's cleaning sometimes (she's disabled) and she has one. If he made a Reader it would weigh 500+ grammes.
I bought an Electrolux in 1989 and it's still working as well as ever. I just replace the bag and filters regularly. I keep saying that my next vacuum cleaner will be a Dyson but the Electrolux is seemingly indestructible.

My choice would be for Oreck. Their Oreck XL® Classic Vacuum Cleaner weighs only 8 pounds.

Sphere.

(I just couldn't let a thread with the name Dyson in it not go by without it also mentioned a Sphere.) In fact, I want Freeman Dyson to design my next ebook reader.

Freeman Dyson?? Don't tell me he's gone into engineering??

Oh ... now that's interesting. I just went to his website and was reading about his family. I had no idea that Tim Scott (son in law) was with Pharmatek in San Diego. I did some work for them a while back. Huh ... small world.

Oh, Dyson making a reader would be a great idea! Then I'd never have to worry about dust on the screen; since I use it in the woodworking shop.

Knowing how differently he thinks compared to the competition, I wonder what type of display he'd use.
