The story of Inkleaf E-Reader

The Inkleaf was the first gadget grandparents and teenagers both wanted. Its gray screen looked like real paper, and the battery lasted weeks. Poolside readers loved it in the sun. Turning a page caused a little flash, like the screen was blinking. Owners bragged about carrying a whole library in a purse, then mostly reread the same mystery series.

Fun fact

After a few months with an Inkleaf, some readers caught themselves tapping the corner of real paper books to turn the page.
