If I asked about "what about those wacky statements in the acknowledgement?", they may something like "I agreed with the opinion" or 'I skipped that part'. In normal conversation, people don't use the term 'content'; 'content' has a more technical meaning then 'just the story'.
Sure we can all use different definitions of 'content' when expressing opinions, but it would be nice to understand what their definition is to understand their opinion better.
And FWIW, the definition of content I'm referring to is for fiction works. I would use the same definition for non-fiction, but my definition may not be as mainstream. |
Again, none of this includes the
cover of the book. I wasn't talking about anything inside the book's cover, which I consider content. But you equated the cover with content. In my opinion the content of the book is
not the cover. And (to get back to the original point) I'm not willing to accept a lower quality screen just for the sake of colored covers. I realize that's my opinion and others feel differently, but that's my choice. At this point (for me) Kobo currently has no upgrade path. And, again, I realize others feel differently.
