They're just such separate use cases that it's better to have separate devices, IMO. Although if someone came out with another device with a phone screen on one side and eInk screen on the other side I'd pick that up, that was the one eInk phone which was actually usable for all its advertised features.
Used the Hisense A2 for a while (or was it the A2 Pro). Still have it somewhere. It had a dual screen: AMOLED one side and e-ink on the other. Didn't use it as a phone, just as a very pocketable e-reader. It worked, but I found it a bit quirky.

Moved from that to the A5, then to the A5 Pro and finally the A5 Pro C.

Liked the A5 Pro C the best of the bunch. Used it as a phone for a brief while, but found it somewhat lacking. It worked, but wasn't right for me as a phone. I still use it as an e-reader and am very happy with it. I prefer my Xperia as a phone.

Personally, I wouldn't get another dual screen phone. Thought it would be the best of both worlds in one device. Turned out to be very middling in my opinion. I'd rather have dedicated devices designed for a given task than take a Swiss Army knife approach.
