I read a lot of technical material that has lots of diagrams and it’s difficult with an E reader paging back-and-forth between the text and the diagram that I’m trying to understand

I never understood why nobody made an E reader that you could read “like a book” that just had two screens and a hinge

It’s called selling out. I doubt they have any illusions about the future of these platforms, they just don’t care as long as they can cash out.
