I like electronic reading devices (although the Kindle is an interface disaster).
Today’s invention is a small upgrade which consists of an extra e-ink screen on the outside cover.
This could be used to display useful information such as:
-do not disturb
-a brief CV
-the title of the book being read…please discuss with me
-the title of a different book you want to be seen reading
-an email address on which to contact you later
-illustrations from the story, or a suitable cover picture (chosen by the reader?)
-a flashing request to train or flight staff to bring a gin and tonic
-a flashing request to train or flight staff that you feel under threat
If you were feeling altruistic, the page you were reading, so that somebody sitting opposite could also read it.
