Although e-readers are extremely convenient and even beneficial to the world of literature, there's is something about the feel of a physical book that cannot be replaced, but the Digital eBook comes close. Instead of the typical [tablet e-readers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moaan-inkpalm-mini-plus-2), this one opens up like a book, providing users with two screens.

Designed by Karim Zaouai, "the Digital eBook feels like a lightweight hardcover book in your hands, and you flip through the pages by simply pushing the two screens slightly together," as described by Dvice.
