It is not clear what your criticism of the study is. Instead, you come across as ranting against findings that conflict with your personal values. As far as I can tell from reading the summary of the study, it does not advocate that being m

For what it's worth: Onyx, the manufacturer, only half-heartedly support their current e-ink readers, leaving lots of annoying bugs unfixed. However, there are very concrete rumors that Android is also being ported to the some Onyx e-ink re
