Möbius Strip e-Scroll

I saw the Infinite Book on O'Reilly Radar, and that got me thinking: when we have flexible electronic paper, how about an eBook reader that either is, or can be clipped together as, a möbius strip, the width of a bit of A4? So you just keep moving it through your fingers as you read and the book goes on and on and on. Like an infinite scroll (the paper sort).

Someone else can come up with the concept art :-) I publish the idea here to make sure no-one can patent it.

Can't think why I'd want a twist in my eBook paper loop.

I guess you could just use a normal loop - but where's the fun in that? :-)

while you're at it i'm going to patent the infinite staircase that is descended in both directions.

FYI, this blog post screws up the Mozillazine Feedhouse rss feed in Firefox.
