That's really what I think the endgame is for consumer computers: a device that combines the advantages (mostly readability, writeability and power usage) of paper with the advantages (mostly access to and storage of information) of a computer.
Honestly, I'm not sure we're that far away between the first-generation e-ink readers and the netbooks and the advanced smartphone/MP3 players.
