      Books are made like this because it’s impossible to make them any other way, but a digital device can have just one “page” since you read one page at time like Kindles and Kobos

        The other option is a scroll. historicaly I’m told a book was always a scroll and the factor we now call a book was a codex. (I don’t know how to verify this)

      Go old school and have it recreate a scroll. Really, not having to shift your head/eyes when reading is a plus with r-readers.

      Nevermind the fact most readers and tablets come -with- a cover … So its almost like a book anyway. Which people fold behind the page. Like a book. What was that extra screen doing again?
