Smartphones with folding OLED screens have been around for over six years, but China’s Readmoo is the first company to announce a consumer-ready e-reader with a folding E Ink display. Details on when its mooInk V will ship, or how much it will cost, haven’t been announced. Yet the company says it has spent nine years working with E Ink to develop an electronic paper screen they claim can survive over 200,000 bends.
