    Paugh. This is not an eReader angle that you should waste time watching, I think.

    So it's, in essence, a non-touchscreen PADD? Seems like Star Wars and Star Trek tech is imminent.

    I don’t think this is the first flexible ebook reader – there have been a few prototypes, most notably the Readius. Maybe it’s the first color one though. Either way, it’s not like it really sounds like the flexibility is a feature – it’s just bendy because it’s so thin. Bend it too far and it sounds like it will break.

    @Shevonne A Polastre: Durability. It's not so much that you want to bend it but that if it does flex a bit, it won't crack. #bridgestoneflexibleebookreader

    So do you have to rotate the display every so many thousand GB or just stick a penny in a slot and if you can see the top of Lincoln's head then it is time for a new unit. Can I get this in a white wall ? #bridgestoneflexibleebookreader

    I'd be interested in one of these, but only if/when it can at least do all the formats that my Sony reader can do. If it can do .doc, .rtf, and .txt, then I'm sold. Can't wait to see it get hacked. #barnesnoblenook

    I've been reading a ton of books on my iPhone. So getting a second ebook reader doesn't seem all that necessary, but I really want to know what Apple is gonna come up with. It seems like if they take too long they won't be the ones starting the fad this time though. Come on Apple you are slacking. #barnesnoblenook

    @ilovexspin: "The black dude"? That's Ice-T! If you've never heard of him, that makes me sad and you're too young. Go watch an episode of Law & Order SVU Ice-T is "the black dude". He also was a decent rapper who is one of the few who really did come up from selling crack/cocaine on the streets of South Central LA in the gangs and made something out of himself. #barnesnoblenook

    @Gators15: If your first instinct is to go with Law & Order: SVU, that makes me sad, and you're too young. He was much, much more than "a decent rapper." #barnesnoblenook

    @92BuickLeSabre: I was trying to stay within this kid's comprehension level, sorry. And I say "decent rapper" only because I don't like rap and never have. I do appreciate his work as I appreciate many rapper's works, it's just not my kind of music. #barnesnoblenook

    Why in the world is B&N the one coming up with this stuff. It must have taken them significantly more work than it did for, say, a Sony.

    No excuse electronics giants or online/software groundbreakers. No excuse. You just got out-gadgeted by a frickin brick and morter book store. #barnesnoblenook
