Has anyone else seen this thing? I think its really cool, the coolest feature has got to be how it magnetizes the "ink" so it "sticks" to the screen, causing the appearance of real ink/pages.

What do you think of it?

I've seen it, and it sounds interesting, but I seriously doubt that I would ever use it as a replacement for books. For one thing, it is a bit expensive at $350. Also, most ebooks are just too expensive, as far as I'm concerned. Unless the price is dropped a bunch on both the books and the player, I wouldn't even consider it.
