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
While that sounds cool to me, it kind of defeats my main purpose of switching to an e-reader in the first place. I have trouble holding physical books for a long time due to hand pain. I had a similar issue with the e-reader, just not as bad, until I put a PopSocket on the back of it. Now I can hold it with the PopSocket resting in-between 2 fingers and can read significantly longer.
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?
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

True, but this solution also lacks the vibes. It’s directionally correct though!
I see what you did there ;)

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.
