Inkleaf: The two screen E-ink tablet that opens like a book.

Why an e-reader needs 2 pages.

Some things are just supposed to be read across two pages: sheet music, manga, and comics.

Or, you’ll need to reference information to follow what you’re reading: definitions, a map, or the footnotes.

Instead of a cramped split screen, or breaking your flow by breaking back and forth, Inkleaf lets you keep both in view and reference as you go.

Love the convenience of an e-reader, but miss the feel of a physical book? This is for you too.

Inkleaf is a foldable, 2 page e-reader. It lets you read across a 2 page spread the way you’re used to, while keeping Your library stays on one device, and when you’re done it folds shut like a book.

Kameron Yu, The Founder.

I’m part of a small team who’s led 4 consumer electronics crowdfunding campaigns.

Inkleaf took 17 iterations to feel ready to ship. I’ve sent back versions because of tiny wobbles in the hinge.

Today, it’s finally something I’m confident enough in to put my name on.

I’m in and out of the factory, verifying the quality of our 1000 launch units, and I’m here to answer questions.

You will hear production campaign updates from me the same day they happen.
