think about it. What happens to a piece of paper with text on it if I don't manage to finish reading it all in 10 minutes or even when you leave it for an hour or two?

...

Correct, nothing. The text still stays displayed on it

OK, it's true that a lot of books tend to close themselves if you don't hold them open or don't use some weight or don't put them face down... But if I just hold it in my hands, I can look at a page for an hour without closing itself on me.

I think they just ruined one of the greatest features of eink - the ability to display text even when being turned completely off
