Gino.

Good point. I'll try to remember that before I complain about eInk refresh rates again.

This reminds me of a young woman I once saw reading a paperback on a bus. She held the book open with one hand, and had a masterful technique of turning the pages using just the thumb of her book-holding hand. Not only that, but she flipped the page every thirty seconds or so. It was one of the sexiest things I've ever seen in my life.

You know... I knew that something was different but I did not actually notice what it was until I read this
