Sony has a portable book solution that is "open" to formats, looks a lot like paper (no flicker because the screen doesn't "refresh", the dot "holds" it's previous charge until the page changes). The backlight can be off, though I fear this means there isn't a backlight, and I don't like that.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
