aviation (and not trolls or games) on the eFlyBook:

The technology is outstanding- the approach plates are amazingly clear and
readable. Screen rewrites are slow (not enough internal memory, or a
limitation of the technology?)

Technology limitation. The beauty of the electronic paper technology
is that once you write the screen, it stays the same without power.
(The drain on batteries is because of a backlight if there is one, and
in changing the screen, which takes time to rotate each colored ball,
or move the ink dot or whatever is the particular case.)

I might not, but I'm quite sure that my daughter will see printed
screens that duplicate this. In other words, flexible throwaway
digital paper. There will be newspapers, books, etc that have animated
pictures.

Also, have you seen the new Philips digital display cloth?? T-shirts
and sofas and pillows and blankets with video? Can you imagine the
eFlyBook, but embedded in your shirt arm and/or pants legs? Or heck
how about under the brow of your cap?

The mind boggles at what's coming.
