Well, the thing is that I haven't opened it yet (return policies in physical stores suck here in Sweden), so I don't really know what I'm missing so far, which would make the wait easier I guess On the other hand I'm dying to start reading again after a recent "dry spell" =)
And thank you for your thoughtful reply. It kinda reminds me of my thought lately (better a reader in the hand than one in the store kinda). |
Keep in mind I'm not trying to convince you to keep it, but rather to not let rumor drive your decision. I just find it hard to take too much stock in rumors after seeing so many
terrible ones for the products I've actually done work on. It's like a game of telephone. Only what comes out the end becomes the expectation of customers, and a stick used to bludgeon you with, even if it isn't true.
With Kaz Hirai taking control of Sony, cutting jobs and "refocusing"... there's a lot of uncertainty about some of their smaller projects like e-books. And I'd wager that this rumor is related to that uncertainty.
