Great idea. Make it twice as heavy and more expensive than it needs to be so you can simulate one of the slightly annoying aspects of the physical medium you're replacing. If I pay extra, will they have an option to make my hands dirty, too? At least with the other two-panel designs floating around out there you get the ability to have documents side by side. The form factor is more bulky but you're getting a real benefit that is relevant to how you use your documents.

I thought of this like 4 years ago, but the problem is that to change more than 1 page, you cant just grab a chunk of pages like in a normal book and skip around, but it is 1 by 1. Unless it has a "go to page" option in which case it would be good. However, that style of flipping isnt the most complimentary to a book.

but it still looks very cool. Thanks for posting!

I think it would just start to piss me off after a while. That kind of page turning gives me bad memories of grading, taking tests, reading boring articles, etc. Give me one that turns like a book please. Make the connections slip in like track lighting around a cylinder and it could work.
