Yeah, I asked them about that in email. They haven't answered yet.
If the e-paper screen is more like a N800/N810, where you can use fingers and/or stylus (as opposed to stylus only) then it'll be golden. Not perfect, but usable as a netbook in a pinch. Otherwise, you'll need to have settle for using the portrait mode keyboard on the LCD screen. For many apps, that'll be fine. But, I don't know if the Android SSH client (ConnectBot) will work well that way (as far as I've ever used it, it only wants to render in landscape mode).
And, that would be my main use for it as a netbook (ssh'ing somewhere). :-}
