EXCELLENT rambling!!!
I share with you many points specifically the part about SIZE. 6" screen is a effin joke for any serious reading and as a format for text material. It pretty much goes against thousand of years of text format evolution.
If you notice the big brands are the LAST one to innovate or come up with new sizes (amazon DX pos at $600 doesn't count).
At around two year lesser known brands started to come up with alternative sizes prices range was ok if seeing as an investment.
Then more brands offered alternative sizes until KOBO came up with 7.8", which still not ideal size but an improvement.
Does Amazon or BN Nook have a similar device no. Shockingly completely the opposite!!
Amazon last summer came up with pos Oasis device and reviews all over the net raving how Oasis was the definite reader once and for all.
Are you fng kidding me??!! When I first read I assumed it had a bigger screen and such but I was speechless after finding out that it was another 6" at almost 300$, without audio jack, wthout SD card .etc.
I mean, who are they trying to fool??
Anyways as another post here, I guess it comes to PROFITS, amazon can abuse their position foolling millions of ppl with a 300$ 6".
I was sorta shocked when I went to my electronics chain and see all paper price info tags replaced by 7" e-ink with RED COLOR as well!!!
WAIT WHAT???!! Yes, 7" e-ink screens wifi that can be easily stolen just for putting the price!!
Something is awfully wrong. But what can we do? I guess is support lesser brands that truly innovate and cater readers needs, and not Amazon PROFIT vampire with their bullshit devices.
6" inches devices need to have a horrible death.
sorry for the rant.
