I read a lot of technical material that has lots of diagrams and it’s difficult with an E reader paging back-and-forth between the text and the diagram that I’m trying to understand
Apparently a foldable OLED screen is, typically expected to last at least 200.000 folds. That’s more than a 100 folds/day for 5 years. I’d take my chances on one, I think.
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”.

I never understood why nobody made an E reader that you could read “like a book” that just had two screens and a hinge
Why would you want that if you can have something light that can be held in one hand?

The hinge lasts longer than a foldy screen.

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.
5 years isn’t that long
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.
for the vibes of course, not everything has to be optimised for practicality
Two Kindle, one duct tape
but then i’d need to swipe to flip the page on both of them, that’s like, effort

I see what you did there ;)
True, but this solution also lacks the vibes. It’s directionally correct though!
Adjacent to an e-reader, but Microsoft tried that. Typical Microsoft fashion, they fumbled it.
The Surface Duo really does make a great e-reader.
You would think at least the Chinese brands would try it.
