I'll wait until they make one with 300 screens I can flip like a book.

I hope you get what you want. Me I want something I could put in my pocket.

Hello there, just scrolling through and I saw your comment. You seem to know a bit about this topic. I'm currently thinking of buying a reader as I lost mine some time ago. I used a kobo and a kindle in the past and didn't see much difference. However, this thing about reading papers seems really cool. I have tried in the past reading PDFs on those readers without much success.

Do you think you have good options for reading articles/manuals? Consider I end up printing about 50 pages a day in articles I read. If I can turn that into something digital that'd be cool.

I like the concept. I have a e-ink reader where I removed the hull because it's annoying, but at some point I must have damaged the display a bit and now it has a little black spot. With this the added bulk also doubles the area available for text. Maybe not that useful for novels that you read through linearly, but for non-fiction it would be nice to see other chapters, glossaries, etc. on one display while keeping the other at the page you were reading. Mainly a problem of software and enough buttons to be able to comfortably use that.

Though the low-res displays of this prototype look atrocious to me (pixelation and uneven blackness), maybe a later version will improve on that.

How else would it recreate a book unless it had a folding display which would be even worse?

Could also be useful for doing research with ebooks. Maybe show a list of bookmarks or the table of contents on one screen and the text on the other screen. Or you could compare different texts easier, showing one on one screen and one on the other. Or use one screen for notes. But I guess people that need to actually do productive research will use a desktop anyways.

It’s probably just for the people who want it. I have thought about how much nicer two pages would be in the past for this reason and for displaying sheet music.

I would like to be able to get comics and manga in ebook form. I’ve always had to go with the print versions because two-page spreads end up looking bad/being more confusing to read on my ereader thanks to the single page display.

I'd get a whole bunch of these and keep a different book on each one, so you could just pick it up and read it. But it'll never work, it's too much trouble to keep them all charged.
