I'm just gonna buy an e-reader tomorrow.
I just never see the same hype as 2012.

Its gay and most people don't notice the difference from their I phones/ipads

As it turns out, most people don't like reading and the ereader fad suddenly died when people realized that they liked the idea of reading more than actually sitting down to read.

I love the Kindle. I hate the feeling of dry paper on my hands, so fuck old school books, and the e-ink screen is as good as paper to me.

I was hoping that ereader tech would continue to grow, but it's been 4 years and ereaders have only gotten more expensive.

I dunno, e-ink is now affordable for even spics like me.

I was thinking more like advertising on the street.
e-ink seems perfect for it.

also trafic signals.

>>55113341
Wish there was more documentation, blog posts and free books available. I have a reader, but it's rotting on my desk.

It became a meme. I still have my kindle collecting dust from for years. I read all my books on my Note 4 now.

Why does technology need continuous hype? All you need to do is know what it is and decide whether it is something that's useful in your life.

>>55114380
because I suffer from eye strain issues and e-ink becoming cheap as fuck would make my life better.
