- The InkLeaf is a notebook-like dual-screen ereader
- It opens like a book and lets you read on one screen while making notes on the other, using a stylus
- It's shipping to early buyers this month at a hefty discount
In recent years we’ve seen all sorts of e-paper innovations, from e-paper phones like the Hisense A10 to absolutely tiny ereaders like the Xteink X4 Pro, and now another unusual device is on the way, dubbed the InkLeaf.
This is a dual-screen ereader that folds open like a notebook. So the design is a bit like that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and other foldable phones, except it’s using E Ink for its displays, and it’s not using foldable screens.
Instead, you get a pair of 10.3-inch E Ink Carta displays, and an aluminum frame between them. That also means the screens are much bigger than on Samsung's foldable, putting each display more in line with a tablet.

The idea here is that you can hold and fold it like a notebook, and that, thanks to having two screens, you can read from one and take notes on the other. For example, you might have a textbook open on one display and note paper on the other — though you can also directly annotate whatever text you’re viewing too.
The InkLeaf, then, is designed primarily for work, study, and research, though given that it opens and folds like a book, it could also be appealing to read novels on for anyone who otherwise prefers hardbacks.
The InkLeaf is also just 4.2mm thick when open and 8.4mm thick when closed, so it’s no thicker than a notebook, and it weighs just 480g. Plus it has a speaker, microphones, 64GB of storage, and a battery that promises weeks of life per charge.
Unclear software and a high price
The InkLeaf runs Android under the hood, though it’s not clear what version of Android this is, or whether it includes access to the Google Play Store. It also supports PDF, EPUB, MOBI, TXT, and HTML files.
