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.
