what you call a refresh i call basically the same static ereader with a few minor enhancement's/feature's. water resistance (as you say) and the Comfort Light Pro orangey/yellowy light.
i accept that people have different opinions than me and may want these features, therefore i don't feel the need to call them a fool just because they have an opposing opinion to mine.
by all means question my comments/opinion if you disagree with me that's the whole point of any forum, but there is no need to call someone a fool just because you don't agree/like what they are saying.
of course it's entirely up to how you conduct yourself on here. personally i believe in taking on the point the person is making rather than using abusive words like fool. i believe in politeness at all times.

I'll call a foolish idea foolish until the presenter of the idea can actually back their claim up. I hardly think calling an idea foolish is abusive, you are of course entitled to your own opinion. Just as you are entitled to your opinion of if you would fit into being a cynic or a fool in the first place.
It's also hardly just the comfort light, or water resistance that have been added since the batteries were non-replaceable.
The Kobo Touch featured a whopping 800x600 Pearl e-ink screen at an amazing 170 PPI with 2gb storage (I'll grant it had an additional SD card slot), and weighed in at 200g, note there was no frontlight. It was released in 2011
which puts it just on the inside of the longer battery life.
The Glo and the Mini were released the next year upping the screen resolution and adding the frontlight.
And while this forum is generally no guide for the market, there are folks here still using the Glo and Mini happily, possibly the Touch as well. And it's more likely that this reflects the market because non-enthusiasts tend not to upgrade as frequently.
Again, you're entitled to your opinion, but if you're unable or unwilling to back that opinion up with anything besides restating it well, words are wind.
