Probably because they use MacOS.

It's how the system is set up.

It's legitimately idiotic to vote for someone who isn't the candidate for the two parties with the way the system is set up, so only idiotic people do it.

It doesn't matter how many other names are listed.

There's no possibility anyone who's not the Republican or Democrat candidate wins. It can't happen.

I love the rain.

You Say. No To. Ratchet. Pussy. Juicy. J. Can't.

What the actual fuck.

This isn't a question?

Fair enough. I wasn't sure if you were aware since retail options are so limited.

I probably would have pulled the trigger at some point if the lead time weren't just as long as buying from Boox, though. I can't convince myself to pay and wait two weeks though.

I don't have the page specifically. I have a boox Max 3. But Android is a game changer, and Boox does a better job on the custom version than others I've tried (though apparently they're bad at fulfilling their obligations from licensing Android? Presumably that means source code. I see it mentioned sometimes but haven't looked hard at it). But a variety of different reader apps and stuff like Libby and ~~Scribd~~ Everand to get libraries from different places is nice. I also use EInkBro as a web browser, and it has an easy short cut to save an article as an epub for later.

It obviously isn't a direct comparison because it's a different size and presumably a bigger physical battery, but I've left it for weeks and come back to 30% battery. WiFi and backlight are your biggest draws, though, and that varies on how you use it.

If you're in the US you might have luck at Best Buy. I've been considering the Poke or Page as more portable options for when bringing a 13" reader is less convenient. I definitely miss the page buttons from my Oasis, too.

The entire point of word of mouth is that it isn't marketing. It's genuine information that's valuable to other people.

People being paid to fake word of mouth has already massively corrupted the whole thing, but your version would be way worse and completely destroy any integrity actual human interaction has.
