3. I find insulting both a) the assumption that everyone including me likes facebook and b) that the world needs to know that I've actually FINISHED a book. now I can understand that for some americans that is a BIG DEAL & that ALL of the friends NEED an IMMEDIATE status report update but happily (sadly ? ) I don't have facebook friends & even if I did I doubt they'd care either way. [ my cockatiels have a facebook account, - they are more into social media than I am - but they don't read much ]
just give me the option to disable the feature 7 I'll go quietly 
ps, don't let this take over or spoil the main thread, start a new one to tell me I'[m being obsessive if you must, or let's stop here. I'll just keep my aura HD off line & on the older firmware. |
I'm guessing the sight of chapters and page numbers insult you as well? After all, you know when the story has changed and therefor a new chapter has started.
