Please create an account on the wiki section of the site and I will grab the changes you made and place them there for you. You can then create a new page or do with them as you wish.

we already discussed how the chart could have been made before the jetBook's release.

mind you the K2 and the DX weren't even out when the jetBook was released.
Even if the chart was made before the Jetbook's release, that's still no excuse for the incorrect information in the Sony and Kindle columns.

Including support for vertical writing and Chinese typography?

I find it incredible that a person who was up until recently unaware of what guillemets are, would make a blanket statement like that with such authority.

- Ahi

Ps.: The guillemet comment is based on my hazy recollection of your comments in another thread. If I am wrong, just say so and I shall hastily retract it, if it is but an artefact of my hazy memory. Although my point is simply, that such blanket statements are nothing short of crazy, unless you have considerable knowledge of typographic issues relating to a myriad languages and scripts.

I agree, if necessary, and I'm not sure that it is, perhaps another column listing the screen technology. That might be more important to have as newer technolgies emerge.
