I see no problem with discussing the fine points of various ereaders. More than that it's fun to talk about. But let's not forget that we're talking about fine points. The very worse ereader I'm personally aware of today, my Nook Glowlight Plus, is excellent. All the rest are better but it's an amazing and thrilling and wonderful device. And don't you forget it.

Great post. Given that without my ereader, I'd be waiting for a large print edition to become available (if it ever did) or using a magnifier, the phrase about prying it from my cold, dead fingers comes to mind.

Hopefully, the discussion of ereaders never degenerates to the level of the "golden ears" crowd and their pretentious/risible output.
