Magazines... I just bought the DVD collection of National Geographic. I can make an ebook (PDF format) from articles. A double screen would be handy in that case. For average novel reading, I agree, I don't see any added value to a double screen.

Easier to hold, only need one hand, you don't have to turn around to read "the other page"... I agree, an advantage of ebook readers is the single page reading... Though, there are times where a double screen can be handy (see above).

Would I buy a double screener? I doubt it, unless the price is low enough...
