Skydog:
My apologies if my previous post sounded impolite. I assure you it wasn't intended that way.
My response actually mentioned the idea you might not want to list every device you'd ever owned, but perhaps I didn't sound apologetic enough (and I say that without irony) about bringing up the idea of past devices.
The key to my entire post, and the sole reason I asked you about this, was because I myself didn't know how important many PRS+ options would become to me until I used them.
I had to point this out because people have been talking about features in the abstract: Dismissing them as unimportant without -- in some cases -- actually having tried and benefited from them.
When someone says that features I find important are unnecessary, and that person seems not to own a device that offers them, my next logical question is whether that person has owned a reader that did in the past. The question is not meant in any way to discredit the person I'm talking to. It's only meant as a reason to suggest that familiarity with those features on a daily basis can make their usefulness more apparent -- and not just to people who are "picky" (to use a recurring word on this thread).

I was pointing out that is not the case. That's all. 
How on earth that prompted your question regarding my previously owned devices or the limitations of Sony is beyond me. |
