RE: Gen2 OLPC to be dual-screen "ebook"

At the risk of starting another anti-DRM flame war, it wouldn't be so bad if they could get Mobipocket or some other ereader software on there. Mobipocket (nor Fictionwise) doesn't do Linux though.
 
But ideally, as they clearly stated in the video from other sites, it would start a debate and spur other companies to beat them to market with a similar device like Asus did with the Eee PC. Similar product, little more expensive than planned, but same concept. 
 
Asus discovered a real hit on their hands that spurred even HP to step into the water.
