Also I would think diseases spread pretty easily on ships.
You can tell you're on the gap when no item is highlighted.
Super + right mouse anywhere in the window presents a window management menu, including resize/move options
Are you ok?
When a web site says "Sorry, page not found" do you start punching your monitor?
When the delivery guy leaves a note saying "Sorry we missed you" do you go to the depot to beat up the employees?
What an awful laptop.
Personally I'm not overly distracted by android apps when I'm reading a good book, but YMMV.
My Kobo doesn't have any buttons.
It also forces me to go on wifi and make a Kobo account to use the device at all (even if I'm just interested in copying epubs).
In short and honestly after 5 years of ownership: fuck Kobo and and fuck ereaders in general.
It's also _extremely_ better at everything, including for reading books, so the higher weight and (2x, not 3x) cost are well worth it.
The Kobo battery doesn't even last that long with the backlight and wifi on, and at least mine wipes its storage and OS when the battery runs down completely. The screen and UI are also the worst thing imaginable. Using eink devices is basically equivalent to torture.
The Y700 has a bigger screen and is 100x better at everything though.
My android tablet lasts for a week of reading and charges from 30% to 60% in 5 minutes.
They have played us for fools.
Kind of niche devices both though, and expensive.
