ASUS Reader - two screens are ... why?

By Christmas, ASUS plans to release its own e-book under the Eee brand.

Chip device - two color screens. Thanks to this reader from ASUS will be very similar to a regular paper book. There is a possibility that, in addition to the two displays, the Eee Reader will receive a webcam, microphone and 3G module.

Reader will be sold in two versions, which is still not clear what will be different from each other. The cost of the book is expected in the region of 160-170 dollars.

IMHO, with two displays, it will be a heavy, cumbersome and inconvenient device. ASUS assumes that it will be possible to display a browser or a virtual keyboard on the second screen, but I don’t understand what is the point of reading and surfing at the same time. Typing long texts on the touch screen is also a little pleasure. For the short one is enough for one screen. The 160-dollar value is also hard to believe, except that the gadget will be sold at a loss.
