Can you explain what this is and what it has to do with the Nerd Rapture/Kurzweil?

He basically said that devices like this will make books obsolete. This technology is almost there.

All I got was that it was basically an iPod that displayed PDFs

It's lighter than a single book, a screen that is easier on the eyes than a book (let alone a screen), it can access hundreds of thousands of books, who knows how many blogs and magazines, is wireless, adds search functions/highlight functions/tons of other stuff you could never get from an ipod or iphone.
Why would anyone ever use a book again once this becomes cheap?
