So how will you merge those screens? There would possibly be a bezel surrounding each.

Current batteries are not that big and bulky. You would have to run wires/cables from one side to the other to operate them both from one battery.

But again, all the technology is there. You could even put two identical ereaders side by side in a case and make a mechanical device that would touch both screens at once or push both page forward buttons at once and you would have such a device.
