I get serious eye strain when I try to read long documents on a
screen. If I have to read something long, I print it out and read it
from paper. It's also much quicker and easier to make notes in the
margin than to type out changes on a screen (especially if the
document is in some non-easily modifiable form such as PDF or PS).
Ok, so you got the flexible part. It still doesn't exactly look like
paper (remains to be seen how close it is, and whether it corrects the
eye strain), it certainly doesn't smell like paper. And, you can't
write on it and have those notes remain with the information you're
scribbling about.
Maybe some day.
