Three things fascinate me about this. First, an e-book that has a hinged affordance, with dual screens. This somehow resonates with me in a way that all those tablets do not. Second, the serendipitous placement of the four-way control that is a natural place to navigate. Third, and in some way most interesting, is the use of the device for comics, not text. It seems so natural to place the visual frames of the comic into the frames of the device.
