"true " e-paper, which resembled a big slide (maybe not foldable, but definitely rollable), was shown on Babylon 5. but with limited budget, it always showed the same colored text. as for back-light, i dont tend to see tv or read from the computer screen at total darkness anyway, so i wouldn't might it much. and just thinking of the a mount of paper i will save on printing articles for uni to read them on the bus (since i do not have a laptop) makes me very happy. i wonder if it has highlight and tiling option, so u can view multiple documents or different parts of documents at same time. that would be very cool. i believe in star trek TNG the device was a rigid plastic tablet, more like a very flat lcd or something.

I am still looking forward (hoping) for the small computers for email, video, internet, like you always see the actors on Star Trek: The Next Generation carrying around.
