    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?

      Adjacent to an e-reader, but Microsoft tried that. Typical Microsoft fashion, they fumbled it.

      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.
