It's just.... I feel like I can imagine a system that would be better than pen and paper.

That means there's a possible startup.

Ha, in theory, but it looks like the guys at TeXmacs are already selling the product for free, so no dice...

I made with my Kindle the experience that it's better than regular paper books while reading books on a smartphone isn't. Currently most mathmaticians use paper. If someone would design a mathematical editor that's better than paper, I think that could be a huge commercial success.
