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

  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.

      They have plenty of books that size. They are called matchbooks
