'e-Paper' - the book of the future

'e-Paper' is the technology I've been waiting for - check out the video on BBC's site...

In short: Cambridge University has developed some super thin electronic paper made without any metallic components so it is bendable, durable and pretty darn tough.

I can't wait for the day that books, newspapers and websites can be fed directly to a portable, 'reader friendly' device that looks a lot more like a sheet of paper.

It just begs the question - where can I get one!? It doesn't seem to be in the public domain just yet.
