Well not two at the same time exactly. If you open a second book the
first one closes. However they save you place upon closing. And if you
use either Dashboard or Tapbar, you can get a list of all the books on
your Newt, and switch without needing to go through the Extras drawer.
One tip though when you split a book. Make sure that both sections
(PKG's) have different ISBN numbers and package names. The Newt tracks
the package by name, and the bookreader (copperfield) tracks the book by
ISBN (your bookmarks, last viewed position, notations etc). This way if
someone has a lot of extra storage they can install both sections.
