- Open · Inner display
Reading room
Open, your stories sit on the left page and the one you are reading on the right; opened like a book, an article becomes facing pages with the summary first.
- Standing · Hands-free
A news radio on the table
Stood on a table, it becomes a news radio with what is up next, a sleep timer and type big enough to read across the room.
- Closed · Outer display
Close it and keep listening
Close it mid-story and it carries on reading aloud from the paragraph you were on.
