When I read on tech blogs that Kindle is a goner, I think these people must not read very much.
Yeah, pretty much. It is snobby and rude to say it that way, but being snobby and rude myself I'm fine with that.
In fairness, while e-ink devices offer what I believe is the best reading experience in the present for texts read linearly, they're less pleasant when used to read texts where you're likely to bounce around: technical texts, books with lots of footnotes, and even omnibus editions of linearly read texts. Then again, this looks to be true of the iPad as well. The faster and more colorful screen was used to make a chintzier experience, classy the way casinos are classy, which they aren't, not a better reader.
- ojbyrne 16y agoIf you read the article that Dave links to, it's pretty obvious that the author doesn't read very much, because he clearly can't write.

- ojbyrne 16y agoI was just pointing out that the specific article Dave points to is even more proof that we're dealing with the illiterate (I also have no problem with rudeness and snobbiness).
