    If it was foldable without a break in the middle with bezels it’d be interesting as it’s basically be 1 screen. But that is not likely in the realms of what can be offered here.

    I use a larger eink tablet from Boox and like to have it in landscape showing 2 pages at a time. Its a preference visually as it feels even more like a book, and a minor benefit with less page turning, but still light enough to hold with one hand. It’s hard to explain why but I much prefer having all that screen space and 2 pages laid out in front of me.

    But this design with 2 entirely separate screens doesn’t really capture the benefits of that. It’s mimicking a book so may be more comfortable for some people like the landscape reader is for me? But It does feel redundant, and a larger reader in landscape is much more versatile for other tasks like browsing the Internet or reading an a4 pdf in portrait mode. This dual screen design loses those benefits.

    I agree the form factor doesn’t make sense.
