Multi-Touch Screen for an Ereader?

The time is just around the corner - for ereader displays to incorporate multi-touch screen technology. The starting point has already presented itself through a student project. But a complete assimilation of the two technologies could go as far as one can imagine. I mean, how can you not wander when looking at a technology as alien as this:



This was taken at the CeBIT 2008 expo last week in Hannover, Germany. (CeBIT is in German for "Centre of Office and Information Technology). Probably a 'Minority-Report'-like ereaders wouldn't be around the corner just yet. So, how about something slightly less futuristic but more real and relatively 'simple' to combine with the current technology. Multitouch screen would have to wait for now:



It's less 'multi' but less 'touch' too. Incredibly, all the gestures seems so relevant to what we would want in our ebook readers. Any guess when one will be available? I'll put my bet on 2009. What are you waiting for, Kindle 2?
