That means any person buying one is clearly in the 'innovator' or 'early-adopter' category. Yet here you are behaving as if you are a 'mainstream' or 'late-adopter' who demands perfection from the get-go. Sorry, but you can't be an 'early-adopter' of new technology and demand 'late-adopter' perfection from what you're buying.
No, you're not lying. But you are ignoring reality to present biased views. The reality is that even the Kindle is a 'first-generation' device (that being the newest gee-whiz e-ink version) and anyone who buys a 'first-generation' of any new technology has to expect bugs, kinks and flaws in the operation of same. We do point out the flaws, but we don't try to paint it as a complete rip-off and abdication of developer responsibility - which is, even if you don't use those words, exactly what you're doing.

That's funny. I'm pretty sure you're the one ignoring reality.
