If you read my posts with an open mind you will see that all I have been saying is what I think will happen to the market and why. For all you know, from what I have said in this thread, I may spend all day reading Mills & Boone, and that a PC connected to a 55inch TV as a monitor is my preferred reading device  .
As I have said, and you have now taken part in confirming to me by your claiming things of me that I have not in fact said, that trying to contribute is a road to nowhere unless one just regurgitates the received wisdom that lit E Ink is the only way forward and any manufacturer who doesn't listen to that is doomed. |
Stick to your comic books AnotherCat. For those of us who read novels, colorful text would be a distraction. I highly prefer my text to be a shade of black and don't want to see it in any other color. I also gave up picture books when I turned 7.
I don't get what you're trying to accomplish here. People who read real books want/need eink, not lcds. Ebook readers aren't going anywhere and neither are tablets. Go buy your tablet and enjoy reading indoors. I'll continue to read by the pool, at the beach and in bed at night with the lights off on my lit ebook reader. You don't see people who like to read going into tablet forums and saying tablets are crap do you? For the purpose of what people use ebook readers for, a tablet is crap though. For the record, in our house we have 5 ebook readers and 5 tablets, so yes, there is a use for both.
