Just as long as you acknowledge your irrational bias.

Some of us don't need to be told what to want/buy/think!
And I'm not sure why you (and everybody else) are making such a fuss about what was my fourth and least point of preference for Onyx and Pocketbook.
Not all closed-ecosystem eReaders have all the drawbacks that I associate with the genre, but that doesn't mean that they don't have some of them (including some that I haven't even noted yet -- like lack of a mSD port). |
I like hitting on every point that people make, it's more thorough.
Regarding the microSD card and lack thereof, I'd like to quote myself on a different thread:

(Same logic applies to every other eReader, including the Kindle Paperwhite which has (shudder) a measly 1.5 GB and about a year's worth of books.)
