E-book readers are nifty. I'm using the third in fifteen year. Read hundreds of books.
My problem with them is the software. The hardware gets stronger but instead of refining and tuning the old specialized ebook reader software on them, they put generalized crap that can do many other stuff like playing music, browsing the internet and whatnot. The latest I bought has a fucking Android on it and is a huge bloat. On an e-book reader I only want to read for fucks sake.
