Being able to fold down a larger "sheet" display so that it fit in a pocket would be pretty cool. Having extra room for reading things like maps and comic books is so much better than pinching and zooming on a pocket sized display. What you call limited purpose, I call functional design. I'm kind of over all-in-one devices. They've turned into Jack of all trades, but master of none.
Obviously that's not what this device is, but it got me thinking about why I'd want a device with multiple e-ink displays or a foldable display.
My buddy's folding Samsung phone is really cool and you might look into it. It unfolds to a single screen of maybe 10" diagonal and square perspective. I think for full page PDFs though, I need something bigger so I've given up on pocketability.
I just upgraded to a foldable phone and it's a game changer to have an 8in screen in your pocket. Reading long form content is so much more enjoyable, and I'd love to have an E-ink reader that folds like my phone does.
