- Nostalgia (hey, it looks like a book )
- Natural screen cover/protection when closed.
- Research (different documents on screens, or notes on one screen, or what-have-you)

The screens themselves, given the bi-stable nature of e-ink won't be the biggest power draw by the way. Plus with ever-advancing battery tech the power won't be a problem forever. lithium-polymer is fairly light; you could stick in two smaller batteries one on each side.

Anyway, I'd buy it. I'm a loon but I'm not the only one.
