Nice article! I too suspect that the new generation of totally flexible LCD-like screens will herald a new revolution in e-book readers within the next ten years. Not only will you be able to carry lots of books on the device, but you will be able to carry it rolled up in your pocket...
However, I like to think that some things will always lend themselves to traditional hard-bound printing too. There is something aesthetic about a real book that sometimes goes beyond the content within.
Luckily, this is a situation where the two technologies can continue to co-exist for quite some time.
