Actually, I quite like the folding method of the pocket edge. I can have a book open on one side, and another app (ie dictionary, wiki, web search) open on the other. I can flip the screens around so that my writing hand is over whichever screen I happen to be working with (this is a system setting, not orientation sensor event, so it's not that convienient to do but it is possible). As well, the hinge is a full hinge so if I ever do wish to use it as you suggest, I can flip the screens back to back. There is even little rubber feet on
both sides (back and front) of each screen, so they're protected no matter which side is down.
