Yeah, OLED isn't really the best choice for an e-reader.
There's a reason e-ink is a thing.

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

Can I play DOOM on it?
You can read it!
DOOM choose your own adventure style e-book?
That would be so good if they had a competent author.
I would bet it already exists.
