Reflective lcd's vs e-ink

Restating the forum rules is hardly an offensive act.

According to the forum rules it was.

Quoting the forum rules does not equate to a poke or provocation by any sense of the words.

It is easy to do.

That can be also be done by DawnFalcon-astra and yourself.

There is a slogan/saying in the States, friends don't let friends drive drunk. I think the saying could reasonably be modified to say, friends don't let friends post off meds.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts in other threads.

For someone who criticizes provocations, it is very troubling that you are trying to invoke them here. And I will not return your sarcasms. I am willing to end this, are you?

You may wish to have a friend clarify the quoted statement. I didn't say your action was "an offensive act."

I made certain assumptions , my apologies if English isn't your native language.

In my reading of the "personal attack" it was clear that the statement did not directly refer to you in any way, shape, or fashion. I don't want to assume anything a second time so just to be clear...

per·son·al adj.

1. Of or relating to a particular person; private: "Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted" (Elizabeth Janeway).
2. a. Done, made, or performed in person: a personal appearance.
b. Done to or for or directed toward a particular person: a personal favor.
3. Concerning a particular person and his or her private business, interests, or activities; intimate: I have something personal to tell you.
4. a. Aimed pointedly at the most intimate aspects of a person, especially in a critical or hostile manner: an uncalled-for, highly personal remark.
b. Tending to make remarks, or be unduly questioning, about another's affairs: As the student debate got heated, it got personal.
5. Of or relating to the body or physical being: personal cleanliness.
6. Relating to or having the nature of a person or self-conscious being: belief in a personal God.
7. Law Relating to a person's movable property: personal possessions.
8. Grammar Indicating grammatical person.

Again, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts in other threads.

Maybe we change the title to "the thread that will not die" or the "Jetbook promotion" thread so that we can finally give it a rest.

If that's the case I guess I should have burned $200 instead of buying my 2 kids each a jetBook.

I love drive-by posts by people that have something productive to add to the conversation.

I own an eInk Sony PRS-505 and bought a Non-backlit LCD jetBook for my daughter. I found it to be an inexpensive ($99) perfectly acceptable ereader. So much so I bought my son one too.

Don't get me wrong I prefer my eInk reader because there is less glare then the jetBook screen, but the truth is they are fine ereaders.

I wonder how much development of reflective LCD is still going on. I would love to see some next generation stuff coming out. Lots of epaper on the way to production and to market, but other than ChLCD, we don't hear much about LCD on that front.

Are you using rechargeable batteries? If not, I'd think you would quickly burn through the extra 50 bucks each you'd have paid for a pair of PRS300s buying batteries.

An excellent point, rechargeable batteries work fine in these readers and yes I am using them.
