I was mainly addressing those who seem quick to balk at the screen technology alone.
I don't care if I have to charge every couple of days, I don't get eyestrain, I almost never read outdoors, my Nexus 7 is lighter than the eInk reader I had for years, and I put the device in airplane mode if I don't want to be distracted. I don't mean to imply that you're not entitled to your preference or anything, but I'm genuinely curious what's left on your list of advantages.  |
Well, nothing. For you.
For those who DO get eyestrain, mind the extra weight, need more time between recharges, read outside (or under florescent lights), ect., well that is another matter. They are also cheaper and you don't need to worry too much about carrying them around where they might get broken, lost or stolen.
