Holy Oversized Images, Batman!

Seriously, I've officially had my Forma since Christmas (ordered it before then, then had to let SWMBO wrap it and put it under the tree). It's my third reader (sony prs505, Kobo Aura HD, and now the Forma), and I just don't see what the big deal is all about. Sure, mine has the shadow, or gray bar, or light sliver, or whatever you want to call it, but let's be reasonable here. You've got a device that can hold hundreds of books, has a long battery life, does what it's supposed to do, and weighs almost nothing, and people are saying things like,"I just can't live with this." Ridiculous. Folks, this is a First World problem, and in the grand scheme of things means absolutely nothing. Be glad of the wonderful piece of technology that you've got or get something else. Regardless, please stop complaining about it. You're talking about the digital equivalent of the shadow between pages in a paper book, for Pete's sake.
