Harry T did his normal trick of answering a different question with a response that matched his preconceptions.

Well, I am sure HarryT is allowed his opinions just like you are -- and his opinion in this thread was "don't wait to see if a new Voyage comes out, buy what fills your needs now".
That strikes me as a very legitimate response, thank you very much.
And regarding PDF and E-Ink ereaders, I would say the same thing -- first reconsider whether you actually want an E-Ink PDF reader, tablets are usually a
much better fit.

Here's another recent one where he does it: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=272233
The user asks is it possible to read epub on a Kindle. The actual answer is maybe, but Harry T instead lambasts the idea of even trying. I suggest he try nuancing his responses with more information rather than dogmatically espousing his preconception to the exemption of all other possibilities.

The actual answer is "Why would you want to", and I lambasted the idea as well.
(Although granted I included more background context, laying out the pros and cons and possibilities on both sides. Not necessarily because I thought the OP really needed to know -- I just like being thorough.)
