Close. But what I really want would look like a blank book. The pages would feel like paper. When I down load the material, text appears on the pages and I can flip back and forth. When I'm done I can download another book.

I know it's niche but that's what I want.

I don't want a folding e-reader, I was a dual eReader with a hinge in the middle that acts like a book.

Where can I get notified when this is available ? 🤔

Who asked for this, I don't expect many people want a pocket able e reader to carry around every day, I carry my tiny shitty old Kindle in my backpack if needed, otherwise I just listen to audio books or read ebooks on my phone. But the foldable technolog itself is interesting and could have some novel applications down the line

I bought a Kobo Clara hd (6") especially for the reason to be able to carry it around in a pocket so that I can always have it on me

Yeah my Kindle is around 6 Inch as well, which while it fits my back pocket, not something I'm keen to carry with me everywhere, I only like reading on my slow e ink screen when I have free time to comfortably sit and relax, which is usually at home or back when I had an hour long train commute to work. Otherwise my phone is better, audio books in particular are really good to listen to while walking or doing some activity.

It'll probably run Android, so yes, but your eyes will bleed from the ghosting.
