My theory is that it's easier for a company to lose customers, than it is to gain customers, with product updates.
Its overall dimensions are 0.3" taller and 0.3" wider than the current Paperwhite. At that size it will no longer fit in my pockets (my current one just barely fit), and thus will no longer be convenient to use, meaning it's worthless to me.
I never used my Paperwhite and though, "Gee, I wish the screen was bigger." I guess I'm not their target audience. I like to read wherever I go, and that means being able to take my Kindle wherever I go.
I wish Amazon kept it small, I need a new eReader and was holding out for Amazon's update, but now I am going to have to look elsewhere.
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoOne reason I don't use e-readers more is because I wish the screen was bigger. 10" would do, 12" would be better. Of course it doesn't have to be either/or, but I suspect a lot of older people would be very happy to have larger readers. I also suspect the margins on these readers are insane.
