I agree, Kaz. I think a two-screen device could be a good way to ease new readers of ebooks into becoming accustomed to ebook devices because it would be more familiar to them. But I think that very quickly they would decide that the second screen was too cumbersome, too heavy, too expensive, and entirely unnecessary and would want a one-screen device. The only exception might be for people who wanted to read something technical and be able to display one page on one screen and some other page (not necessarily the next page), or even a page from some other book, on the other screen.
