Well sheesh, I didn't mean to start trouble around here(thread starter op whatever). I am new to mobileread and sincerely wanted to know what "real" readers thought about this supposed decline in eink and what that means to others out there, despite the admittedly click-baity title. I do not know many people in real life who read at all much less use an ereader so I am genuinely curious to hear anecdotal stories about how people read and how they perceive others reading lives. I read no value judgement by ZodWollop and took it to mean most readers he knows personally use eink. It was clear to me that he was just making an observation about a small subset of folks he knows and we are free to apply that to the general population or not. I guess what I am trying to say is that I thought I had maybe found my people here. Other bookish places on the internets seem to skew heavily to print: see Booktube and Instagram, but I suppose they are visual media and I'm guessing nobody wants to see 40 pics of my cute socks with my kindle huh?(am I allowed to be snobby about that here guys?)

Anyway I love to read, especially on my eink devices. I do read on my iPad and print occasionally but those are not my preferred mediums but more power to you if you prefer a different one. It disheartens me a bit to see people get offended about who is or is not a "real" reader here because I think if you are on this site you are by default right? To be honest it makes me afraid to comment and maybe I have *not* found my people here...

sorry for rambling!
