I doubt we'll be much further than well-developed pad/slate format touchscreen machines where reading-media is concerned. There's a lot to be said for an A4-esque book or magazine sized cm-thick piece of plastic mass.
The big thing I see with slates is their quantity - I can imagine having a desk with 4 or 5 slates on, each able to easily interconnect - with the ability to gesturally drag content from one to another. Would make PS / Web design interesting, for sure. Each would be equally functional, but user-defined - one is a control surface, another a keyboard, another a tools palette, another the working document, etc.
The bums amongst us will probably be using their big-ass tvs on the couch.
The more well off amongst us might be using their coffee table, and I can perhaps envisage some sort of voice/gesture-controlled room/wall projection system, but I doubt it.
