(This is the 43rd of many promised articles which explain an idea in isolation. It is hoped that ideas may be adapted, linked together and implemented.)
What's wrong with a laptop, you ponces? If you must have a tablet, I suggest a variant of the OLPC dual-screen touch-screen clamshell design but using e-ink on both screens. It could be used like a book or a clamshell laptop but it would be completely incapable of playing video. For that functionality, you are referred to the ideal laptop. However, tablet battery should exceed two weeks on stand-by and eight hours of heavy, continuous use. Tablet does not have any radio interfaces but can tether to ideal phone over USB.

Learning French is trivial: the word for horse is cheval, and everything else
follows in the same way.

There was recently a successful kickstarter for a dual-pane ereader that is meant to mimic the look-and-feel experience of an actual book. The like is:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/196861017/fist-of-the-north-star-innovative-ebook [kickstarter.com]
They choose to make it a single function device that is launching as the complete Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star manga collection, switchable between English and Japanese. If they become common enough, it may server as a starting point for a platform similar to what you describe, or a general purpose version may become available.
