The single-screen problem

One screen makes you choose what stays open.

A Kindle is excellent at reading. It is also one screen tied to one store, so you cannot write beside the page. An iPad takes notes well, on a bright glass screen that wears on a long reading day. A reMarkable reads and writes, on one canvas, so the book and the notes never sit side by side.

  • The reader

    Good for a long read. The moment you want to mark, sketch or cross-reference, the page has to go.

  • The tablet

    Bright, fast, glossy. Good at almost everything except an eight-hour reading day or a quiet page of notes.

  • The single-screen e-paper

    Closer. Still one canvas, so you read or you write, never both at once.

Three reasons it exists

Made for the way you actually work.

01 / Read and write at the same time

Two pages. One workspace.

Read the textbook on the left. Write the notes on the right. Both stay in view.

  • Flick a page from one screen to the other with your stylus
  • Press harder for a bolder line. Eraser end coming in a software update

02 / Digital books that feel like books

It folds. Like a hardcover.

Closed, it's thinner than a paperback and barely heavier than one.

  • Opens to a true two-page spread, no center seam to fight
  • Slips between books on a shelf, slides flat in a bag
03 / Notes that feel like a notebook

Pen on paper, without the paper.

Pressure-sensitive ink with the friction of real paper.

  • Search a phrase across every Note you have written
  • A Note can hold several pages

Software

It's a full computer, in paper form.

InkLeaf runs Android under the hood, on two screens that read like paper.

Sturdy parts. No weak links.

A cast-aluminum body and a precision-machined hinge. Page keys concealed in the frame, where your thumb finds them without looking.

  1. The fold. A 180° hinge, tested across thousands of opens.
  2. The hinge. A machined barrel that should outlast the rest of the device.
  3. The keys. Page keys sit concealed in the frame: page up and down for each screen, plus power and a one-press refresh.
  4. The frame. Battery, Wi-Fi, sync status, always visible.

Opens like the things you already use.

The same fold and the same one-handed feel. Thinner than both, with twice the page.

vs a paper notebook Thinner than the notebook, with as many pages as you need, all of them searchable.
vs a single tablet Half the thickness and twice the screen, with no glare.

Twice the screen. Half the weight per screen.

Per panel, InkLeaf is the thinnest and lightest E Ink tablet you can buy.

What the press is saying

InkLeaf takes a different approach by essentially turning an E Ink tablet into a digital book with two full-size pages.

The InkLeaf is also just 4.2mm thick when open and 8.4mm thick when closed, so it’s no thicker than a notebook, and it weighs just 480g.

The tablet is built to mimic the physical experience of a hardcover book.

…a truly innovative product that redefines digital reading and writing devices.

From the founder

Built by a small team. My name's on it, and it's ready to ship.

We're not a consumer electronics giant, and I won't pretend otherwise. We're a small team that got tired of choosing between an iPad and a Kindle every time we wanted to think. So we built the device we kept wishing existed.

It took 17 prototypes to get the fold right. We refused to ship a hinge that couldn't survive thousands of opens, so we kept building until it could. Then we sourced two custom Carta panels and moved into full production. This is finished hardware, in manufacturing right now.

Open formats, open spec sheet, no walled garden. Your files stay yours. And if a small team like ours ever hits a delay, you'll hear it from me the day it happens.

Questions, answered

The honest answers.

Why should I trust a new brand?
You shouldn't, yet. That's why we start with a signup list. Subscribers get monthly manufacturing updates, so you can see exactly where production stands before you decide.
When does it ship?
Founders ship in early 2027, in the order they reserved. Public availability begins March 2027. Subscribers always ship before public buyers.
Isn't E Ink slow?
Yes. It's slower than an LCD. That's also why it reads like paper and runs for weeks on a charge. Writing feels like a ballpoint on paper, and page turns and stylus input feel immediate. Video and gaming, no. This is not the device for that.
Will it work with my Mac, PC, or phone?
It works on its own. To add books, connect it to a computer with the USB-C cable and use an MTP app (built into Windows; OpenMTP on a Mac), copy them from a USB flash drive with an OTG adapter, or use LocalSend's "Receive via link" on the same Wi-Fi network. It opens PDF, EPUB, MOBI, TXT and HTML.
What's in the box?
One InkLeaf device, the pressure-sensitive stylus (eraser end coming in a software update), USB-C cable, and a quick-start card. That's it. No subscriptions to read your own files.
