I feel this trailer needed a spoiler alert...

Just the week-end? Ambitious

I went the Boox way more than half a decade ago. Personally, the 2 draws were:

  • The availability of bigger screens: at 10.3'', the Note 1 was great for A4/Letter PDFs, and I just liked to have a big wall of small text for my epubs.
  • The freedom from walled-garden: I could use whatever Android app to read whatever format.

Other will probably tout the note-taking, the possibility to use a real browser, the versatility of an e-ink tablet, etc. But those are not my main use case.

They are on the expensive side though, and my very plasticky Note 1 sadly died after only a short handful of years. The latest Boox offerings have metal casings though, so they might be more durable.

I've been reading on my mobile since my Note 1 died, but I could finally splurge on a Go 10.3 recently. That big, non-backlighted screen is glorious and so restful after a day on computer and mobile screens ❤️

For my next one, I might go bigger (13'') and colour - if colour e-ink improves markedly - for comic books consumption. But I hope I can rock the Go 10.3 for the better part of a decade this time 🤞

(PS: Calibre and ePub for the win!)

... He then went on to check if he could run Crysis on it.

I disagree with his choice to not name the place. Fot starters, I would like to know where not to go eat. Also, those people shaming him will basically get no consequence out of their hateful behaviour, so they will not learn. Loss of revenue would have been a great way to drive the point home.

Her voter base of Joe Rednecks don't have a passport, and stopped paying attention to the wherabouts of their birth certificate once it got them their first gun.

Voter suppression suddenly doesn't feel so good, when it puts your seat on the line...

#1 is doing the show for the children: they love when it feels risqué and adult-y.

#2 is doing the show to get parents' trust.

No idea what happened to Jen, but that pink-scarved brunette in the background formented it.

Yes, it was pretty funny 😄
