That's exactly what i'm moaning about:
It's easier to trick people, than to educate them and since making profit has taken rule over all aspects of the western societys and destroyed cultural values, education of the people is forbidden. Marketing is the key to success: exploitation of the human stupidity. Everything is sold today: from selling products to selling politics.

To come back on topic:
It's easier to make a cool looking eReader, than to explain the customer ergonomics on reading and why a not so cool looking greyish frame has a vastly superiour ergonomics for reading.

Look at the success of color eReaders. Easy on theyes reading, reading outdoors? No, the masses want colors.
Why are Hollywood movies such an insult to the intelligence? Because people are not interested in plausible intelligent stories, all they want is a colorful perfect presentation, no matter how insulting the story or characters are for intelligence.

The less educated the masses become, the less they want to learn, the more stupidity is demanded and not only the more politics is becoming a ridiculous theatre of bad actors, also the worse the quality of food or products are becoming.

The market for big eReaders already is not that big. But with uneducated masses judging mostly by the look, the eReader design is forced to compete with LCD-tablets, if the companys want to stay in business.

And certain popular internet blogs like goodereader, whose reviewers are stupid enough to compare eInk devices with color LCDs NOT outside or in sunlight, but are stating that readers will want the hisres Retina-display are increasing the desinformation and confusion.
No wonder, that color-LCD-"readers" are a huge success, if people are kept that uninformed - and all a the cost, that the money of READERS is flowing into the market for LCD-devices.
And the producers are happy about that too, because they make more profit with the worse (for reading) LCD-technology.
