Some books are written or laid out with two pages in mind. What this specific e-reader unfortunately doesn't solve is the problem with double page spreads in manga (although digital versions, at least those I use, don't spread them on two pages anyway).

Also I could see it being useful if you can "pin" some pages on one side, especially if you need to compare multiple documents on the fly.
