Hi OtterBooks,
I couldn't agree with you more.
- They removed all of the benefits of a 16 shade grayscale screen by adding 48 more shades of gray. If I wanted that much differentiation, I'd buy comics, not books, right?
- Then they gutted the e-ink refresh rate by making it nearly 100x faster. Slow down and smell the roses, I say.
- Next, they removed the sunlight readability problems inherent in LCD screens. How am I going to cloister myself indoors on the Facebook now?
- Removing the awesome backlights found on most all LCD screens sucks out yet another benefit of LCD. Now that my battery lasts well over a full work or school day in continuous use, what can I use as an excuse for slacking off?
Finally, the nail in the coffin, so to speak.. The bastards at ASUS did it all at a price well under half of all comparable tablets while adding a Wacom input panel usually reserved for tablets costing 5 times as much!
My god.. You're right! I may as well just hire someone to kick me senseless.
