Interesting little gadget.

I've been mulling a hardware project that I'd like to bounce off the 
group. I have a need for a book sized device that that displays text. It 
needs to be as readable as a paper and ink book with simple controls 
(page back, next page, bookmark, goto bookmark, goto page #), loadable 
from a usb stick and no *&^%(# DRM. It also needs to be cheap.

There are a number of really tiny one board Linux machines out there and 
Phillips has come out with digital paper displays. Any ideas?
