Considering getting an expensive eReader, lads.

@Vordus out of curiosity, why specifically an expensive one?

@noiob I would like one that can display colour. And also one that isn't a fucking kindle.

@Vordus idk if I'd consider colour eInk worth it yet but I suppose that's a personal choice

@noiob Like, on the one hand this tech is expensive and looks a bit washed out, and you don't get a particularly large screen size. On the other hand, the alternative is a tablet. And tablets universally suck for reading.

@Vordus idk I regularly read on my iPad mini and find it generally a pleasant experience

@Vordus and yes, I've read on eInk, I have a Sony PRS-T1 that's sadly dying of file system corruption, but If I got an eInk device it would probably be a Supernote, not a pure reader

@noiob The supernote looks neat, but it's basically specializing in a bunch of features I'd never use and has no physical buttons.

@noiob And also doesn't exist in the UK, apparently.
