People will chill if you stop addressing only men. Women are not worth having a discussion with, in your opinion, or what?

That is tantamount to saying: "Calm down! I mean you no harm when I kick you in the shins,"

You have given no acknowledgment of making inherently offensive statements nor any indication of intent to mend your ways.

Why is it that you expect endlessly repeating "Chill" will absolve you of any obligation to be civil?

Your first admonition to "Chill" was in response to a simple request to addressing your posts exclusively to adult male readers when there was no reason to be so exclusive.

Well, there is also the matter of audiobook listeners being unworthy of respect.

It might be something that was lost in translation, but in that case the OP should have explained that. Just saying "I meant no disrespect" without explaining what it was they actually meant by "Men" is not enough in this day and age.

That has been suggested to him as a possibility in another thread, but he completely ignored it.

No, not everyone said that.
With a 300 dpi mono panel you can have RGB stripes (Triton) which gives 100 dpi x 300 dpi, or a 2 x 2 cell (needs more precision) which is 150 x 150 dpi (Kaleido).

The TCL NxtPaper 11 was abandoned on the doorstep by GLS this morning. Unusually it seems to match the marketing claims.

@DrChipper is of course perfectly correct, no built in USB spots for a keyboard.

Fortunately I ordered the TCL T-Pen (€29) as the gadgets I have don't work. It might be here in a couple of days. It's a lot cheaper than a Kobo Pen, which is a lot cheaper than official Samsung, Apple or Microsoft models and cheaper than many 3rd party pens for various standards.

I've no doubt that the larger soon to come versions using NxtPaper 3.0 will be even better. This NxtPaper 2.0 is pretty good.
I can actually read old scanned magazines and poor coloured Internet Archive scanned PD books easily on it. I can't see how it has any more strain on the eyes than eink with a front-light on.

I'll add a review later in Android section here.

Just everyone I have read talking about it. Maybe you didn't say it, but I haven't seen it.

I hope they do it, and I wish it was popularized enough to have them in public places, offices, etc etc, but still even if you don't understand it, some people can only use eInk. Why? I don't know, but I am sure the backlightVSfrontlight use, and other charateristics matters here, and this doesn't has nothing to do with you being a R&D engineer. Despite that, NXTpaper is probably better than any other LCD screen, and that's why I wish all screens were like this, specially the GPS screen on cars, those really make me quickly sick.

Meanwhile, I am praying for a 13'3 olour eInk screen from Onyx!
