I've said something very similar, elsewhere. And I'm with you 100% on that one.
And I wouldn't take even a free ereader if it did that. But what I'm talking about in an
unnoticeable feature that could be built into
some stories.
Under your name it says
Device: none. But you post a lot, and I'm assuming that you might like to choose a method of reading ebooks sometime in the future.
If you should buy an ereader, do you want one with a dictionary?
If you were reading a book and it mentioned a bateaux, would you know what it is? You may not have to look it up, but most people would. And a picture of one might be better than a description to some.
That is what I'm talking about. Not popup ads and videos. Just the ability to select a word for an explanation and maybe a picture.
What the article was describing is what a computer/netbook/tablet/MID would be good for. To me, those things aren’t what ereaders are about.
