I hear what you’re saying, and, to a degree, I agree with you. However, I started this thread because the “Only ignoramuses like the Kobo Libra Colour”-type posts around its launch date were bugging me. I only intended this thread to be a place where people who weren’t ashamed to like their color Kobo could huddle together to protect themselves from the spec onslaught of the anti-color brigade. 😜
I wish people would just let other people like whatever they like and be kind to each other, with maybe just a hint of snarky humor mixed in, but then that wouldn’t be Mobileread. Instead, stating you like something is taken as a gauntlet thrown in the face by somebody else who stated in another thread that they hate it. Of course, I’m just speaking generally and with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Actually, this thread has done a pretty good job of not only staying on topic, but being civil with only a divergent post here and there. Well done, everyone!
P.S. I still absolutely love my Kobo Libra Colour (except for the annoying Kobo sleep cover page-skip bug)
