Hiya, Zod. ("Kneel before Zod!")
I probably wasn't very clear in that post. It's not eReaders in general, it's eReader
apps that I feel have some unnecessary features, such as page turn animations and reading timers and the like.
I also should point out that my only "complaint" about these is when they take away from the basic functionality of the eReader. When I was on the Android platform, for example, I had an eReader whose name escapes me that had about a dozen randomized page turns and wipes-- but often couldn't display RTF formatted text properly. It seems to me that the basic function of an eReader is to display the eBook for reading, but the developer was more interested in how many different weird ways he could turn a page for you. (Moon+ became my go-to, then. and I loved it.)
Just because I don't like a feature doesn't mean it shouldn't be there. That might be your favorite feature. I don't time my reading, so that's a pointless feature for me, but for someone who is trying to read more, that might be critical, and that's fine!
