Foldable Screens = Changing The Form Factor

I see that the Readius electronic book device is being rolled out.

This thing sports a flexible screen. Why haven't laptop manufacturers started to make newly reconsidered computing devices with these things? Imagine a tiny device the size of my MacBook keyboard, which is 10.5 in x 4.5 in, but which could house a screen 10.5 in X 9.5. My laptop would be a the size of a trade book, or smaller, when not in use.
