I may be a little behind in new technology updates, but I saw a report about a bendable e-reader device called Wexley Flex One. Imagine reading books on this thing (science fiction books, in my case) without worrying about dropping it and breaking the screen. Here's a video of the device:
But this is not the only thing that utilizes this technology. Samsung is making smartphones that use it, and I'm quite impressed.
