What I'm really waiting for with this technology is resizing of text. 
One of the downsides of PDF is that you're tied to a specific paper 
size. If you read PDFs on a computer or try to print them on a different 
paper size (A4 vs Letter) you see the problem.

I considered getting a Sony eReader (the one with the electronic ink). 
It's just about the perfect size for me. The problem is that many of the 
texts I already have are formatted for Letter and would need to be 
resized.

If they can do something like this for PDFs, I'd be very impressed.
