I have a feeling that most of those broken Readers were not used in a cover.

They are making a great product with great features that people like very much.

My second choice would definitely be Kobo over BN. Definitely.
I have to disagree. Features that people would like very much are what Amazon is NOT giving people. Look at the customization options. Wide margins, large line height, and few fonts with some being too light. Then you go to two other set of settings with even wider and more wider margins and line height. How is this what people want? It's not. Not at all. The current lowest settings should be the biggest settings with two others being smaller and more reasonable. The fonts in the font menu should all be optimized for eInk. After that then you can say Amazon might be on the path to trying to give users what they want.

That is a screenshot from The Godwulf Manuscript by Robert B. Parker. It's the first book in the Spenser series. I've not yet read the entire series and have decided to start over and eventually read all of them.
