Thank you for your thorough explanation re iPads. That was something I've always wondered about (people not married to the Apple ecosystem using iPads), especially as I've tried my niece's iPad occasionally, but found nothing there I can't get on my Surface, besides lesser weight. Admittedly I don't read mangas/comics.

I’m going to stick with Amazon and Apple. I’ve been using Apple devices since 1981. I like them even better today, especially with the data mining companies like Google as competition—I won’t ever trust those blood suckers. Kobo made good hardware, but the Kobos I had were FW challenged, and the bookstore was pretty sparse. Amazon has a great bookstore and their Kindles have enough formatting capability built in now I no longer need to modify books. I can just simply read and know my books are synced. I’ll let those with more years left on this Earth than I have spend more time with calibre than reading, I chose to read rather than mess around with my library in some digital swamp!
I guess a lot of people get bent out of shape about so-called walled gardens and proprietary formats, but the way I look at things, if they work and serve my purposes without exposing my data to anyone who wants to spy on it, then I’m happy. |

I've had other e-ink readers and tablets before I switched to Amazon and Apple. I've got gripes with both but not nearly as many as I have with the competition which is what it boils down to. Of course, if I had still been making $15/hr, Apple would simply have been out of the question. ![]() |
