The Cybook is an portable reading device based on E Ink® Corporation's low power electronic display technology.  The Cybook features a 6" black and white screen with paper-like contrast making it reliable in most lighting conditions.

With a small footprint, 8,000 page flips on a single charge of its Li-Polymer battery, HTML, PalmDOC and PDF support, this device seems great for personal use but I suspect perfect for schools and other educational settings.
