E-books are cool, but not the ones they mentioned
While dedicated book readers can have some advantages (ie: they pay people to add formatting, graphics and/or special features; easier time convincing publishers to try them since they use encrypted/secure formats instead of open ones) I think they're lack of versatility will doom them. They are usually bigger and heavier than a PDA yet do much less. On the other hand, they are not as satisfying or easy to read as a paper book.
One thing I do look forward to is increased use of active, backlit screens for better legibility (I'm dying to try one of those Casio E-100's but will probably go back to Palm after my Psion dies)
