You know what I'd like to see? An eInk device in a bi-fold format, that can show left & right pages like a print book's page spread. Maybe with an option to have a separate book each side, or a separate place in the same book (like when cross-referencing and note-taking). Closing the leaves together would protect the screens when not in use. Opened out as a V might be more comfortable to hold too.

This doesn't interest me a bit. One of the reasons I love Kindles/Kobos is that they are easily held in one hand. A hinged device would require both hands. I can only read one page at a time, so two facing pages doesn't matter. A device like that would also weigh twice as much, and be bulkier when folded, and need a larger heavier battery to power lights on both screens. The connecting electronics necessary in the hinge would cost more, and potentially increase the likelihood of breakage or problems.
