Livre: A New Ebook Reader?

The multi-touch screen technology by Jeff Han has been by far the one that puts me as close as possible to the future. And if there's one thing that anyone should bring in after watching its YouTube inauguration, it should be that "it's got to be integrated into everything tech as soon as possible". Now there's one that's coming up or at least has something close to it, albeit not commercially, yet. It's Livre, an eBook Reader designed by a Monash University student (Nedzad Mujcinovic) that won the Australian Dyson Student Award 2008.
To best summarize Livre: to go forward one must look back. The main feature of Livre is that it tries to be as book-like as possible, physically, than the rest. That means no buttons, no controls, and thicker. In fact, judging from its look, it's as thick as the real book. The system uses eInk technology, of course, integrated with a touch-input screen. And get this - pages are turned by sliding your finger across the page, while double and triple finger gestures advance the page-turning much quicker. All gestures are mimicking back the old ways of reading books. Its realistic feel is added by the inclusion of the soft leathery cover.

Here's how things look now - multitouch screen and eInk are the real deal now. They're more realistic and make things simpler for the user. How to best mix and match these two together into those gadgets out there is going to be something interesting to watch. What's next for Livre, or Nedzad?
