It's probably technologically possible, but the cost would be higher and
you'd only see a verse or so at a time--not exactly well suited for
reading. Most displays on a unit of that size would prob. be difficult, if
not impossible, to read in a dimly lit room. Same for any sort of marking.
I enjoy the tech stuff, but I'm of a mind that despite the prognosis of the
wizards, the book is here to stay (at least for my lifetime).
