Fair enough. Other than a few articles or text books that have tables that span a two page spread, I can't think of much of my reading needs that need two pages.

Of course, with research articles I'm usually reading printed out PDFs rather than the original journal anyway, so I've been reading one page at a time for most of grad school through starting my career as a professor this past year.

So I'd take having to flip back and forth--as long as its LCD or something else with instant page turns and not slow ass e-ink--to have a one screen device that's easier to hold and use.

But as you note, there seems to be some like you who do need/want two screen devices so I'm all for them coming out! Like I said above, the more variety in tablet devices the better!
