Comment on The first folding e-reader is smaller than a paperback

  Unless you go once near a beach and a single grain of sand gets past the airtight bag the phone was in and the Totally-IP67-We-Swear phone chassis and is fucking destroys the screen from the inside, with a repair bill worthy of a new phone because “that kind of damage is not under warranty”.

    Someone should make a folding dildo.

    that’s also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.

    yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

  Second question, if you’re going to read from one screen at a time, why have two screens?

    I guess this way you can also use it for manga or any other medium that sometimes use both page to display something.

      Alright, that’s a good use case, I like that.

    If you’re going to read from one screen at a time, why have 2 monitors on your computer?

      If I were to read a book on my computer, I would use one screen. That’s kinda my point. A second monitor does nothing for me in that scenario.

      But it folds like a book, and i see it being held like a book. If that means text populates in two columns like a book, and you read one column at a time, I really don’t see the point of the second side. You can just turn the page.

        I mean it’s for the same reasons books aren’t the same size of matchboxes. A larger area makes it easier to read.
