Are there any ebooks with the fancy screens which are hackable? Maybe to
the point of running X/$your_poison but at least to allow communication
with a proper computer (eg. some form of text-to-pdf).

Rationale: It would be wonderful to sit in the garden typing on the
laptop but with the results coming up on something as easy on the eye as
a sheet of paper.

invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely
preferable to that of a mere adult.
