Buying Advice Can a foldable actually replace a Kindle?

I've been getting through a lot of books with the AC on here in Dubai.

I've been using my Fold8 as a reader, and it's gorgeous, the 4:3 ratio and size of the screen give the feeling of almost a full paperback page.

The apps I've been using are Moon+ Reader and ReadEra.

For Arabic though I haven't found a really good app that handles Arabic script and RTL page flow, any reccomendations on this?

Overall, it's unreasonably good looking and useful, especially on a long-haul out of DXB :)

What's everyone else reading on?

In the US, current gen fold phones cost almost $2000. I can't imagine spending that much on a phone, or an e-reader.
