A tiny, lightweight, low-power, computer display projector for personal use, projects the display onto your hand, or when lying in bed - onto the ceiling.
In a "laptop-computer" you would have the detachable screen be of some florecent material, so that the low power light coming at it is amplified.
A head-band could be used, to project the images on an open empty book, for a true "digital book reading" experience.

Unfortunately, unless used with properly-designed screens, projectors are a horrendously energy-inefficient means of displaying stuff. |

I like the idea of a computer that uses the nearest available surface as a display - vague echoes of the PA system in the Hitchhiker's Guide. In fact, I think this is an all-round good idea. I do wonder if some of the current crop of LCD projectors might nor incorporate PCs, but I don't think they count as tiny. |
