Maybe a device with enough of those thin plastic displays to turn pages like a book would work. It's only need about 50 or so double sided displays, if when you closed the ebook, it would start with where you left off on the first page. Of course it would probably be prohibitively expensive if possible to make.
Even Captain Picard reads paperbacks and not a electronic screen.
