Refusing to listen to customers
Why does every ereader manufacturer seem to go out of their way to refuse to provide the community what they are asking for? I'm not talking about the walled gardens: those are annoying but I get it. What I can't get my head around is:
Amazon: people seem to want physical buttons, so let's discontinue all the devices with them and then potentially add them back with a really heavy case
Kobo: people seem to want a BW Libra so badly that used Sage devices sell for way more than our new devices... so let's only offer color
Others: people seem to want battery life which is why they have e readers in the first place, so let's only offer power-hungry Android devices.
Seriously... just give us a BW Libra! The engjneering would probably take all of a few hours from an intern.
