I'm at a loss as to how your proposal is a "compromise" so much as "agreeing with the OP entirely".  |
The OP, to me at least, seemed to think if they didn't have a device, they weren't going to participate. You pointed out that not everyone can afford a device, but still likes ebooks. If there was some way of showing they liked ebooks and want to be part of the community but didn't own a reader, I thought of that as a middleground. The people who think them suspicious are satisfied, and the people can still be active.

Isn't it good, therefore, that we're not defining what is helpful to the community based on the desires of a few posters?  |
Yeah, it is all subjective. For the most part, I think things are fine as is. Start changing it based on a few whims, and things crumble.
