I like silence, for example. So all those people who like to listen to music or have TV playing in the background are obviously idiots or nutcases, because their preferences are different.
It's laughable because the letters in the words on the pages of the ebook are in fact legible. It is obviously possible to read novels on the screen of the KLC, is it not?

Someone who believes that it's impossible to enjoy reading a novel on a KLC is not citing a fault in the novel itself, not complaining about the writing style or the plot. The contrast is slightly less than that of other screens. Not enough to seriously impair the legibility of the text, no. The text is slightly less sharp than that of text on another screen. Not enough to seriously impair the legibility of the text, no. But enough to prevent them from enjoying reading.

The quality is slightly less, and they know it. They can't stand that.

These are the same people who can't enjoy listening to a song if they perceive a fault in the sound quality, no matter how slight.

I don't suggest that they should buy a device that they can't be happy with. I am simply stating that they are not satisfied with buying a different device, they come here and spend a lot of time and energy explaining that no one should buy one of the devices that they don't like because it's impossible to enjoy reading a novel on those devices.

They are more to be pitied than anything else.
