Readit NewsI subsequently bought their color e-ink iPad-mini sized device for manga. It’s awesome to get a native-publication-sized e-ink way to chew through tons of pages without having to fill up my bookshelves.

At a previous job we had an actual good designer figure out what users wanted and she found out users wanted denser information. So she designed a more compact table. It was quite smart, used the whole screen, but still looked amazing and didn't feel cramped.
Then my company released it as a library for the whole company to use and the first thing one of the product managers did was requesting margins AND frames around it, plus a lot of whitespace between cells.
Now instead of displaying around 25 items on the screen at a given time, this other system can only display around 10.
The cherry on top: it looks horrible with the frame and with the unbalanced margins.
Throwing away all the research and optimization out of the window for one unnecessary “we really need this” scenario.

OTOH, I published this book after about 7 years of weekly blogging, mostly about Emacs, so I think that everyone who might be interested in my book could easily know about it. And an intermediate Elisp textbook is rather a niche thing.
This is a crime against humanity and these people should be jailed accordingly.
If they do it with different types of batteries it is even more complicated, like you need to write some custom software to sync all that up. This is not a trivial project.
