Or better still a function where members can vote on their wish to have or not a poster on the forum - IE more than (X) number of votes by members a poster gets banned.

The fact that I may not wish to read what someone writes does not and should not indicate that I believe they should be banned from the site on the basis of being unpopular.

I have said this about 6 times. Bismar seems to lack the ability to read when i repeated it to him 3 times. By the way I was only talking about the reflective LCD yet people keep on waffling about the backlight like some kind of religious mantra. Could be some kind of deep pychosis caused by battery drain? |

I still think that, given his price constraints, he would be best served by looking for a used PDA on EBay. |

They're designing and adapting ebook readers as fast as they can, but they haven't caught up to storage & battery changes. Quote:

EInk is indeed slower than LCD. It's not slower than turning paper pages one at a time, though. And it'll speed up as the technology changes. Many of the problems with slower eInk aren't actually the screen--it's the software, trying to parse bad code in the ebook file. Nobody complains about the speed of reading TXT files. [quote]Ebook readers like the amazon kindle and sony ereader cost as much as a laptop at present! Rip off pricing.[quote] New tech. Different features from laptops. Quote:

[quote]A low power low cost photoframe would be ideal. I am surprised that no one has done this hack.[quote] If nobody's done it, it's probably more difficult than you think. Photo frames are built to display image files, not read data. The software change required would increase the cost a great deal. Adding an interface for flipping through pages, and searching for the book you wanted, would add more software and hardware costs. And I suspect you have no idea how much battery power it takes to operate these for hours on end. Most photoframes I've seen are designed to be plugged in, not run on batteries. Quote:

And a "vanquish karma" button to neutralize the karma mafia that has infested parts of this site.

Not even then. What you're suggesting would be that when 23,118 of us (based on the current # of members as I write this) look at something and disagree with someone so vehemently that we wish not only not to see their writing again but that NOONE should, that person ought to be banned from the forum.
Since the Lounge is the only board here that gets close to enough traffic for that to be a possibility in a small number of threads, your suggestion presents as both rude and illogical. It is so absurd either to make yourself out to be an idiot, or you're simply mocking my "out loud" thought about ignore listing someone. |

The moderating team have no plans to introduce negative karma. Nor do we wish to stifle expressions of opinion.
However, we do have a strong preference for disagreements being courteously expressed and, preferably, backed by evidence. Hence our guidelines: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/faq...ing_guidelines (also available on the blue bar at the bottom of this page.) Might I suggest that we return to the topic of cheap electronic reading devices? |
