I do. I don't feel that the in-store experience is a good enough indication of what the device feels like for prolonged use. The best things about eink compared to LCD are the screen and the battery life. I don't think that what the screen looks like in a brightly lit store gives a good idea of what it looks like when you read at night with only a lamp on, and you can't tell anything about the battery life just from playing with it for 15 minutes, unless the battery is really bad.

I don't own a car, and choosing the place to live was geographically limited by the place where I work. In the same way, I chose the reader based on what I needed: large screen (well, the largest that I could find) and the ability to open as many formats as possible.

But my initial comment was to a post that was a comment you one of yours:

I don't really see why you have a problem with my use of the word. And BTW, you can also ignore me.
