    The cynic in me wants to know: Once purchased, will it, and any media it might contain at any time, be under the sole control of the purchaser?

    If not, it’s definitely not worth buying.

    Who asked for this, I don’t expect many people want a pocket able e reader to carry around every day, I carry my tiny shitty old Kindle in my backpack if needed, otherwise I just listen to audio books or read ebooks on my phone. But the foldable technolog itself is interesting and could have some novel applications down the line

      Me* listen, it’s just one of those things you have to try for yourself, when I got my first foldy phone I didn’t get it specifically for reading (I had other more important use cases in mind) but man when I used it for the first time to read a book it was AMAZING to be able to hold it like a book.

      Idk maybe I’m weird, but it’s the little things like that lol

      *But I want an eink version, but that might be a ways off :(

    I never understood why nobody made an E reader that you could read “like a book” that just had two screens and a hinge
