ebooks and e comics in VR is an awesome concept really. I like to read ebooks on my tv cast from my ipad because it's really comfortable to not have to hold anything or really use your hands until you want to swipe to the next page. I think manga and comic lovers especially will benefit from something like this. Also it's really nerdy but it would be kinda dope to hear the page turning as though you have a physical book in front of you.

Plus with the eye tracking stuff you wouldn't even have to use your hands to turn the page. it could all be done for you. It seems contradictory but ebooks/comics and VR have some amazing potential together

I think it's ePaper so I don't know about color, but I'd like something to use in the dark without having a noticeable light bothering my wife.
