I actually find your hypothetical device very unappealing. I've tried several kindle models somewhat extensively, and eventually opted for a thicker model (2015 Paperwhite) because the thinner one (Kindle Voyage) was much less comfortable to hold. I think that the ergonomics of a piece of paper would be even less pleasant for long periods of reading. I think we're just wired to handle stuff in our hands, whatever that stuff happens to be.

The Paperwhite is really nice. After I got an iPad, my 2nd gen Kindle (that I spent way too much money on) ended up on the shelf collecting dust. A year or so back, I decided to get a Paperwhite on a whim and quickly decided that it's much nicer for reading text than the iPad. The weight, screen, and battery life just make it a better experience.
