That and I just get frustrated as I don't fit in with the membership here being a casual reader, relatively young, and not that impressed with e-ink. So I just end up having the same arguments about backlit screens, tablets etc. over and over and over and it's gotten stale.
Just not enough others here who aren't big fans of dedicated reading devices--which makes since given the name of the site I suppose. Though you'd think it was e-ink.com rather than mobileread given how prevalent the bashing of anything that isn't e-ink is.......
And again, this post didn't make me want to take a break. Just a continual realization that 31 year old casual reader who's more into movies, tv and video games shouldn't waste so much time on a site full of older book lovers wed to e-ink etc.  If I'm going to waste time online I should focus it only on the hobbies I really love, and not a casual one like novel reading which is as much a way to get sleepy as it is a true hobby for me. |
Well shit - you wandered into a forum where not everybody agrees with you. I bet that has never happened before to anybody in the history of the internet.
But, it's OK, because it's only because anybody who disagrees with you is a senile old fogey. Phew, thank God for you dynamic youngsters and your open minds. How on earth could people older than you who actually have e-readers as a serious hobby possibly dare argue with a person who actively dislikes mobile reading devices and doesn't even like reading.
I think that the exit is that way - bye now!
