Not a foldable screen, but I recently got a cheap Microsoft Duo. I must say, I'm rather taken with that dual screen. But to me, the advantage (and the drawback) of the duo is that it has two screens. Less worry that the screen will "tear" at the folding point, but the drawback is that you always have that visible bezel, however small it may be.

But even for reading books, it's very handy, even though I prefer a one-paged device for that. You can show maps, list of characters, any other extra information about the book at all times, while you're also reading

Yes, that would be useful. I've just been reading some of Joe Abercrombie's books and a map of the battle area would have helped a lot in visualizing what's going on.

Sweetpea's Dual screen has plenty of useful applications (most are the same reason a lot of us use 2 monitors): Referenced material, tick lists, diagrams...
There was a time my bookcase was full of programming references, How to do that guides. Many were spread around my keyboard while I pull out my hair, cursing: WHY WON"T IT WORK!
Then they shipped a CD instead of 10lbs of books (and then the shipped a slip sheet ha URL

, assuming you had a internet connection where you were?)
