Dude. Seriously. You shouldn't generalise. Germans don't read that much? Yeah, I can see it says Berlin on your profile, but still - lehnst du dich da nicht ein bischen extra-weit aus dem Fenster? Simply not the truth. That's like an american saying "Most of us are lazy couch potatoes".

It's not like I feel offended. Maybe just slightly so. Got used to reading crass overstatements about Germany this, Nazis that. So this is just mildly confusing.

I bought this PRS 505 device so I can read whatever I want without having to carry a ton of books. Like you, I suppose. And like some of my friends.
