Of course, the eDGe is an exception since it has different types of screens each dedicated to the tasks that they do well.

Don't underestimate the value of cutting in half the physical size. An A4 sized Academic reader is easier to carry around and manage than an 11 by 17 display. For personal reading at home a single pane is fine but for an academic or corporate environment where carrying the gadget around all day is an issue, the ability to fold the screen in half is worth the added cost.

Even more interesting, I've seen some design exercises that make a case (of sorts) for *four* screens. With all those folds, the thing is, of course, code named origami.
