For reading on the bus

I really like reading research articles on the computer, and my laptop is great for me to be able to read wherever I am. But, it kills my eyes. My powerbook screen is pretty good, though small, and pretty bright, though not quite bright enough for reading pdf's that show up in two columns. Plus, there's just something about being able to hold something flexible when you're reading. The Nature article linked from the title of this entry talks about a new display that's flexible and lightweight for reading while travelling...

It also says it will create a 'new market' for such devices. I sure hope they make it past the research stage... Hey! I'm a market!
