"Sorry... but that feature is experimental / bèta. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, tough luck." That way, they don't need to officially support it. |

I got the impression the marketing guy really didn't know the answer to half the questions he was asked. And on the 3G browser - twice he said "yes" to "can you browse the web for free on the 3G Paperwhite". Since when?

That guy was pretty dang grating, wasn't he? The marketing dude's eyes looked like they were starting to glaze over at the "so what kind of CPU is it?" blathering. I was surprised that he didn't describe himself as an ereader "power user."

I am waiting for Paper Color, as all my 2 Kindle and 1 Sony reader are still running well.

Well, I thought about it a lot yesterday. I have a Touch but almost never use it. As a matter of fact the last two times I turned it on the battery was drained all the way and I had to charge it before using. I only use it when outside or in a very bright room. It mostly collects dust and cat hair. I probably use my iPhone for 90% of my reading and my iPad for 5%. The iPad is a bit heavy to comfortably hold. I use the iPhone more because it is so small and easy to hold, though a screen size between these two would be better. So I've decided it would be too expensive to buy a PW2 to use rarely. I really like the iOS devices so much better than slow eInk devices. So I cancelled my PW2 pre-order. If Apple releases an iPad Mini with high enough resolution this year I will get that instead.

Whatever. Don't take this the wrong way but I don't care what does or doesn't work for others, only what works for me. And what works for me isn't up for debate.
