So far, these are the words in the question that no one can agree on a definition for:

1. stream
2. media
3. consume
4. percentage

Roughly in descending order of disagreement.

What, no Set a course. / Take it slow. ?

That's all well and good, but it's still just talking about whether the Higgs field/boson imparts mass, not how.

According to WolframAlpha:

1.903 x 10^28

That is the stupidest thing I've read today.

The headlines seems needlessly sensationalist (I know, shocking!) since apparently we're saying that photons don't always travel at the speed of light, not that the speed of light needs to be "corrected".

Will the output be limited to a single number?

I hadn't heard of Calibre either, before I googled for a way to get non-Amazon content on the Kindle.

Sure, ePub support would be great. The current situation is mildly annoying, but not something that keeps me up at night.

Why can't "cool new thing X" ever be discussed on its own merits, without insanely hyperbolic comparisons to "sci-fi trope Y" that it's entirely different from?

"3D printer - it's a Replicator!"
"VR headset - Holodeck!"
"Shitty voice input - Artificial Intelligence!"

It gets pretty silly.

You mean driven the price of "legitimately worth $350" headphones to $500?

Have you seen the Denon line post-AHD2000? I attribute that abomination entirely to the "Us too! Let's be Beats!!!" syndrome.

Beats owns the "high-end fashion accessory" segment of a technology-oriented market - seems like a perfect fit with Apple.

They're making money hand-over-fist (I assume?) selling shitty headphones at silly prices, why should it mean anything more than that to Apple?

No one expects you to take anything as fact.

Those numbers do, on the other hand, sound plausible for a project of that type and size. Including the breakdown between different languages.

Whereas the 500m number is absurd on its face. You're not expected to take away more than that.

One of the experts they hired to fix it, rewrote the entire front end Perl.

So, what's the other 500 lines, then?

I can see how the organization is limited, but yeah, I usually just have a queue of 3-5 unread books. I've only had it for 3 years, though, and that's not a long-enough time frame for me to re-read something.

I haven't found the Kindle to be of much use for tech books and journals: it would need to be at least A4-sized and much sharper (and probably color) for that.

What I would appreciate is better within-book search, and more functional "X-Ray" (that's actually available for more than 1 book in 10).

Not sure what that glitch refers to, I don't think I've ever experienced it on the touch (4th gen). At most, I hit the menu area instead of turning the page every once in a while.

Odd, I read a lot of non-Amazon content on my Kindle. Must be using it wrong...
