Now, this isn't actually an ebook, nor is it actually available for purchase, but I think it's a good example of things to come. First, the device uses an OLED display, which is more efficient in use, and also takes less energy to produce. Additionally, it's brighter, thinner and lighter (not to mention much more expensive).
Second, instead of the traditional Li-ion battery pack, this thing uses a methanol fuel cell (the bubbly blue tube is the methanol tank.) Though picking up a pack of methanol tanks is definitely less convenient than plugging the device into the wall, it certainly makes for a prettier and more environmentally sensitive design.

I want it. Now.
Too bad for the ethanol or whatever fuels that. Can I use diesel instead?

Well, this is pissing me off. I have recently bought a laptop, an Asus one, and now that I'm seeing this one I regret the fact that I hurried up. I should have waited to try this one. It is more girlish, so it is designed specially for women. >:( >:(
