Hey, I wouldn't go that far...
Bloody Yanks is what people say when irritated by someone's trait that's specifically American, damn Yanks would be cursing them, and I don't have anything against them...

Do you really think people are interested in your systematic dismissal of their personal reasons for purchasing an ereader?

I was asking for opinions, and I didn't dismiss any opinion stated here (except for the one stating that I and other people who believe in free information are thieves, because that is just pure bollocks and not an opinion). Your opinion on e-readers and e-books was interesting and usefull, I just compared your habits with mine, I don't see what's wrong with that, didn't dismiss anything. If you're not interested in my opinion and my reasons then just don't read my response... The only systematic thing here was the debate and exploration of reasons for buying an e-reader or reading digital books.

I think it would.
