Okay, I'll give this a go, as I usually don't get involved with the politics, er, whatever you call them of um, whatever we're talking about
Honestly, I can see the appeal of having certain things-online access, ability to rule the world with a 6'' device, reading, music, email, movies-but for those of us who just want to read all this (hand gestures, you know the word!!!)stuff does is complicate matters until...you decide to buy a Sony
It makes it very hard to find the device you're looking for when a lot of no-name brands come crawling out of the woodwork like greedy relatives trying for a loan from their rich twice removed uncle. It gets to the point where it's like okay, do I want to pay an extra $40-60 for a brand I know is going to perform well or go cheaper and take the risk that if the company's sold out or goes bust in 2 years I
might still be able to access my purchases and tech support? It's getting harder, not easier, to choose a device that is going to perform the way you want it to for the money you're going to spend.
And don't even get me started on the format/DRM/proprietary war-there's not really much
to start on my end but if there was this post would go on for forever! Fact of the matter is you can't please everyone, but that's better than not pleasing anyone.
But for me (and I'm not trying to force my opinion upon anyone, nor am I trying to say why what I think is the best way to go) I love love looooooove my Sony. It has everyhing I
need and I think is perfect the way it is. I know, I know, people aren't happy with the glare, or the battery life, or the Sony store, or the blank blank blank but hey, everyone has their own niche, and for me that's my Sony.
Lo siento, do not skewer me like a shish kabob for liking my reader por favor! I have kids to feed!
Well, cats, but they're like kids
