I guess I should just steer clear of all you LCD-haters!
I'll just add that you can get eyestrain reading
anything (check out my photos sometime), and drop it (like a hot potato!).
So, back to topic: Personally, the "fold-up" part of the concept doesn't do anything for me... it's an extravagance, really, that just adds extra cost due to extra technological complication. If the idea is to make this device as cheaply as possible, it's better off having only 1 screen, and a simple interface surface... like a laptop, or even a tablet. I have to wonder what research, exactly, leads Negroponte to say that "the book experience is key." It would be nice if we at MR could be privy to this data...
