You're welcome, Patrik!
To be completely honest and transparent here; it's getting harder to keep it updated, and the future of the site is actually quite uncertain right now.
It's a ton of work to keep everything updated, doing new developments, and trying to expand into new categories (like
smartphones and
E Ink monitors). This would all be fine if the site was growing in traffic (which would mean more income from ads/affiliate) as I'd eventually be able to get some help. But sadly the opposite is happening right now.
Google has for whatever reason demoted the site in the search results, making it practically impossible to find, resulting in a loss of 90% of the search traffic (from roughly 750 visitors per day in the off-season to only 75 per day now). Attached a screenshot.
It's getting pretty ridiculous; as far as I know this is most complete and useful e-reader comparison tool on the web, but if you search for 'compare e-readers' I'm at the end of page 2 of the search results! Meaning practically nobody searching for this will find the site right now.
The only saving grace so far has been people sharing the site around on Reddit, forums, social media, and with friends on messaging apps. I'm very thankful for that. So for anybody reading: please consider sharing the site as it helps me keep it around and up-to-date.
I'm going to do anything in my power to try and keep it around, improving, and growing. Thanks again everyone for all of the feedback and compliments, it means a lot!
