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

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?
