In your previous post you implied that "it needs tinkering/hacking to work"; I simply said that it doesn't, which is the truth, and provided evidence for it. I wasn't certainly implying that you should like it in any way, or prefer it to any other ereader brand. As I said, I don't see the point of the "X vs Y" argument.
So yeah, there's really no need to be disparaging. A lot of Kobo users actually think that the "large blobs of white space" thing is a feature, and the company must think so as well, considering they haven't changed it in many years and aren't going bankrupt anytime soon. I'm sure it's possible to like different things and still have a civil discussion about it, even on the Internet.
