Im sure there were folks denying the advantages and crying cultural genocide when that took place, too.

Fascinating to observe, though.
Maybe because your so much more valued opinion could come accros as ableist?

To go back to the Kobo topic, my Libra decided to die (can't keep a USB connection to transfer books, it disconnects randomly and very quickly).
It's still less than a year old, but I quickly started the replacement process with Kobo. Will see if it arrives before the Sage
