I'm fine with preferences. Everybody's different. Perfectly cool. I'm just tired of those who perpetuate the myth of some sort of divine eink superiority: "'real' readers choose eink" "those who read on tablets must be more casual readers" "how could
anyone read whole books on LCD?" There's quantifiable eink snobbery around here (not everyone, of course). And it feels ironically/eerily similar to the snobbery exhibited by those who poo-poo ebooks in general. I would have thought there'd have been more tolerance for technological deviation among ebook adopters. Who knew? *shrug*
For what it's worth, I have no doubt that dedicated eink readers (or something with similar screen technology) are going to be around for a long, long time. Just like with pbooks, no one's going to pry your (rhet.) preferred reader out of your fingers and replace it with the devil LCD. Relax.
