The "If read on the Internet, it must be true" attitude is widespread and encourages people to not do their own fact checking. A little research using independent information sources for the people described would confirm the descriptions posted in this case. = = = = Let me give an actual example from my own, very recent, experience. A major insurance company hired a new person for the position of Executive Vice President, Claims. That event was played up in all the business news publications. The description the company gave of the man's background was (and still is) correct. The state agency that tracks such things as customer complaints about insurance companies publishes a lot of statistics . . . . Guess what, that insurance company tripled their number of customer complaints since the man took over that position. I would have gone by the things printed in the respected business news publications myself, if circumstances hadn't caused me to look up his 'stats' at the state agency. I caused myself a lot of grief by not doing my own research earlier. Last edited by knc1; 05-19-2017 at 10:42 AM. |

The did even better, they hired one of the patent holders. Owning the patent holder is even better than owning the patent. |

See this thread from 2006. They have not yet launched a commercial product, but they appear to be gearing up for mass production of displays. Last edited by pdurrant; 05-20-2017 at 09:02 AM. |

And we've seen a lot of products announced (and appearing to maybe be in production) and still nothing.

True. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

The Digital Reader is reporting an unconfirmed rumor that LiquaVista may be shutting down.

I bought an Oasis for the 32Gb size, but I returned it because I didn't like they design. It was awkward for me to hold. Luckily I just got a referb Paperwhite Manga on w00t. |

Personally, I like the design of the Kobo Aura H2O. That would be similar to a Voyage/PW with just a larger screen.
