Bah. I think some people are just trying to be contrarian. Always the same questions regarding e-readers:
- How does it handle PDF? (Readers below 9.7 inch? Badly.)
- How are the page turns? (On e-ink? You'll always see them.)
- Is this reader very heavy? (No. They never were. Ever held a hardcover?!)
- Is the light 100% perfectly even without the slightest hint of a shadow anywhere? (Who cares? Ever used a clip-on reading light? Do that, and then compare.)
- What alternatives are there to Calibre? (None. No other program can do what calibre can.)
Same questions, over and over again, for the last 10 years (almost).
Then you have the people who have 'some specific demands' of their e-readers, which basically narrows it down to one device ever created, which has been out of production for 5 years, and then they say they'll never buy anything else ever again... just like the Apple dude at work, who always has 'demands' of a laptop that ALWAYS work out to be only available (in that combination) in the very latest Apple device.
I have demands. I'm picky, especially if it comes down to devices I have to see/look at, like computer monitors, tablets and e-readers. The one thing I demand is the very best screen available at the time of purchase, and most other things are wannahaves. I'm realistic enough to realize that it's a pipe dream to have *EVERYTHING* I'd want in one single device.
The Kobo Aura ONE comes darn close, though.
