The Ipad Air is almost always used by my wife now, although I do occasionally have access to it, of course.
I have a need for the new, the strange, the geeky, the obscure, the downtrodden. What better way to satisfy this s-t-r-a-n-ge, unaccountable urge than to BUY A NEW EBOOK READER! 
The company is tiny...little...itty-bitty.
It's gotten some fairly good reviews. My hope is that the software will be improved.
I don't care for manga; I don't read it.
I'd be using the reader for normal novel reading. It looks like the perfect size for a hardback.
It looks like fun to own.
I'm also unimaginably wealthy. I actually have more than $400 in my checking account. The world is my oyster.  |
I was looking at the i86 for almost exactly not the same reasons.... (except that urge and bank account). But then some other American company came along and ate my bank account... I think I'll sit this one out and wait till the next incarnation (my bank account should be alive by then again...)
I still like this tablet/ereader, if not for the reader itself, but also for the fact that it is there...
