With vertically folding phones coming back we may see something like that since the folded phones will be thicker.

For ereaders the choice is to add a thick spine to hold the battery.
Similar but thicker than the Kindle Oasis.
Quite doable and as a bonus, more grippable.

It's doable but not fashionable.
Any not enough people care.
That thick spine and a round-shaped battery makes me realize how easy it was to hold my old RCA 1100 (LCD screen) ebook reader.
