Hello Marcoscriven,
I suppose that your expectations are too high in comparison of the technology, but the main problem is probably what I call a "cultural problem".
I give you an example that I know. In my professional activity some people defined a temperature as "cold" when the temperature is 100 mK (100E-3 Kelvin) and "hot" at 1 K... Ok, I can work with this. But some other people use "cold" for 1.8 K and "hot" for 4.2 K ... Why not ? The situation is not easy when some other people use "cold" for a temperature of 573 K !
This real example show that for "cold", the temperature could be 0.1 K, 1.8 K, 573 K. The definition of "cold" is "cultural".
Like for the e-readers or the E-ink technology, some things or assertion must be understood in the culture of this technology.
The videos of the monitor mode are, for me, extraordinary and I will be happy to use this mode. The screen is infinitely better than the screen of my old Onyx M92. Maybe, what you judge as a defect of the display is for me a fantastic improvement.
Because I navigate for a long time now in the "e-ink/e-reader culture", my expectations are different and my understanding of the "commercial characteristics" too.
You could have some real troubles with the delivered device. But, for the main part, the descriptions seem realistic. Now, when you look at this forum, it's impossible to wait a perfect software, it's bad but true. We expect the main things are really useable without bugs.
