We’ve been hearing about ebook readers that will appear with e-ink screens that roll up into a very tiny form and then extend out to provide a nice decently sized screen for reading.  They appear to be getting closer to reality as a short video has appeared of an actual prototype of the Philips upcoming READUS E-Reader.  I have to admit the device does look pretty cool and since e-ink readers take very little power to run (they only use juice when changing pages) this might be a very good reader if the eventual price is right.  Take a look at the video at either blog below to see if you agree with me that the crisp screen would make for an enjoyable reading experience.
