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

I bought a Kobo Clara hd (6") especially for the reason to be able to carry it around in a pocket so that I can always have it on me
Yeah my Kindle is around 6 Inch as well, which while it fits my back pocket, not something I'm keen to carry with me everywhere, I only like reading on my slow e ink screen when I have free time to comfortably sit and relax, which is usually at home or back when I had an hour long train commute to work. Otherwise my phone is better, audio books in particular are really good to listen to while walking or doing some activity.

Can I play DOOM on it?
It'll probably run Android, so yes, but your eyes will bleed from the ghosting.
