I've had a foldable Samsung Z Fold 4 phone since the device released and absolutely love it. I don't see myself ever going back to a "regular" phone again. There have been some trips I didn't bother to take my tablet or my Scribe, and didn't miss the larger screens at all. That's something I *never* thought I'd believe. Even when I'm at home, I probably use my Scribe much less than I thought I would because the phone size is good enough. The only thing I don't like about the phone is that I can't write on the "front" screen when the phone's folded.
I also probably won't buy another tablet until Samsung (or another good, non-Apple, company) releases a tablet that, when unfolded, is approximately the size of my 17" laptop. At that point, the laptop gets replaced by the foldable tablet.
However, I don't think I'd ever be interested in a foldable ereader, or e-ink tablet, they just would not likely offer enough of an advantage because there's so much you can't do (very well) using e-ink. Insteead of replacing a device I already own, a foldable e-reader would just be adding to my number of devices.
