Presumably, some kind of hardware is required to drive the screens?

it seems that its probably in it, not sure its says its gonna hit shelfs in 2007 when it gets a big cheaper, the only problem is prob the amount of space ( harddrive), unless they have satillite recervers, or radio signals that show the picture content. But harddrive shouldn't be that big of a problem, for example if you have seen the smallest mp3 that thing is like an inch long and has 4gb of space.

Where is the power source? batteries?

It's a cool concept.
Just a bit larger of a spine on a book, for the storage and hardware, and you get moving pictures in it.

But I think they're exaggerating on the quality and it'll be WAY less practical than what they're saying.
