Thanks! Those look exactly what I need! I struggle to keep my hands warm below -3C.

The curious thing about this, though, is that of course you can start by replacing software engineers with it, but how far away are you going to be from being able to replace a CEO…

That is a good point, thanks. It is not that I want to change device only because of lack of support for open ebooks. In general I’d like to start being less reliant on Amazon and …

I must say 8 inches does sound interesting. Thanks!

Thanks I’ll check it out!
