I ended up ordering a new PocketBook Verse from LaptopsDirect here in the UK, for £120, so about $160. I think it has the same e-ink generation as yours, and by all accounts B&W e-ink is crisper than the washed-out color e-ink displays.

I read a lot, mostly ebooks, and have an extensive collection of DRM free ebooks. That said, e-ink devices are ridiculously overpriced, seemingly because e-ink tech is patent-encumbered. Fortunately I don't mind reading on LCD and OLED

As we French say, "nul n'est prophète en son pays". I'd never heard of Derrida until I read mention of him in some American academic journal. Writers are the most esteemed of artists in France, but that doesn't mean

GPC compliance is already the law in California. I don’t know why the EU has been so slow at making it legally binding. That said, existing cookie popups that don’t have “Reject All” as prominently placed as “Accept All” are already illegal

The new CEO of Eutelsat, Jean-François Fallacher, was previously the CEO of Orange France, the country’s incumbent telco, a much bigger company. He is a member of France’s senior civil service and this shows how seriously France and the EU

Why would anyone expect legalization to cause drug usage to go down? It helps eliminate the violent criminals that proliferate around any criminalized activity. Addicts are not doing drugs for the lure of the forbidden, so making drugs easi
