Researchers at Maryland and Berkeley Universities have created a concept for an eBook reader that takes the format even closer to a "normal" book.

The new prototype has two displays and the two "leaves" can be opened and closed to simulate turning pages, or even separated to pass round or compare documents.

Watch the still video above for a full explanation or hit the link to the (large) PDF below to read the researcher's full report on the device.
