If I was promoting E Ink, many would be lapping up every word as being wonderful no matter how incorrect the claims in them were  . |
I'm sorry, but if there is anyone "rabid" it's those who say things like "rabid promotion of E Ink readers..." Honestly that's the reason I get involved in these endless LCD vs eInk threads... because it seems like it's not good enough for you (and others) to state your preference for LCD tablets or smartphones, you've got to denigrate who disagree with you? Why?
What you call "misleading" I call sound advice. I KNOW (I don't guess, I don't make it up) that I get dry-eye when reading on LCD devices. Just the facts. Obviously others have similar issues, if you don't have these issues -- that's great, more power to you. But that doesn't make these issues any less real.
And this is just ONE of the reasons I prefer eReaders to tablets. (No need to rehash the other reasons in this thread).
If you could refrain from using words like "rabid" when describing those you don't agree with, I could gladly refrain from posting in these endless eInk/LCD debates.
Again, I don't care what you like. I KNOW what I like and why. And I don't have to apologize to anyone for it.
And no, I wouldn't be "lapping up your every word" if you referred to those who liked LCD screens as "rabid." I think using this kind of language over something this trivial is a bit unhinged.
