I see this again and again
"I'll never buy a kindle without buttons"
"I'll never buy a galaxy without sd slot or replaceable battery"
"I'll never buy a curved TV"
For better or worse, companies don't seem to do market research by listening to what we who frequent geeky forums have to say  |
The stuff on phones at least lets other players get a piece of the pie that had been locked down.
My wife and I said goodbye to Samsung.
Okay we had only bought one model and we have never been brand loyalty people on anything anyway. Researching the next product is part of the fun.
Regarding larger sized ereaders; my take is that that market is for textbooks, illustrated manuals, manga readers, and writers who work out of doors.
I suspect that the locked down hardware nature of the Amazon offerings would cause Amazon to fare poorly against the competition.
