There's no excuse they can't make these bog-standard readers with colour print options, backlit screens, a huge spectrum of pastels, flexible screens, Braille translation, big and fluffy with little square dimples, the Latin poets, etc..

Until these improve, I'm stinckig with my Sudoku Loo Rag.

Have they not yet realised that having a full screen that actually displays the information that people really want to read is whats important ?

Why do they insist on the bezel from hell (tm) and a useless ( not a damn tm ) second screen ?

Do these people not have a single real world user to test this on ?

I'm sick of companies trying to get by with make do, instead of really delivering the features that people want. Do you think that bezel is IMPORTANT ? That it fulfills any function ? That your users like it ?

I mean a bottle of , for example Talisker, ( the likes of which I have too recently have sampled ( perhaps a dram too much ) leading to this comment) is useful because it labels and defines the delicious and lovely contents therein.

But that bezel and useless extra screen contributes NOTHING, and steals the space away that should be given over to the content, which, after all the whole point of the device.

I wonder if any of these companies ever bother with using the things they make.

Sadly it seems not.

I love the concept and loathe the poor execution.

Almost caught my interest till i saw all the mumbo jumbo powerpoint pinhead speak at the end.
