This sounds like it could be an intriguing idea, but I'd love to be able to see it working before I considered if I would buy one. The features it offers would really be the make or break.

I feel it would be too much of a hassle, I really wouldn't enjoy it too much. It's a novel idea but not one I'd enjoy.

I'm not sure, sounds like it could more trouble than its worth or just unnecessary.

It didn't cross my head before but I think such an invention would be quite lovely and useful.

I'm not sure if that would work. If it only has one page wouldn't you have to flip it back before you turn the page again? Or if flipping it back also turned the page then you'd be reading right to left every other page? It just sounds confusing to me.

It doesn't seem to be practical. Why would an ebook reader come with physical pages? I would either buy a book reader or a physical bok but never a combination of the both.

Seems interesting if any such readers are available in the market in reality. But the question is why would one go for a e reader with physical pages instead of buying a physical book itself?
