The performance wasn't great in Chrome either, but it wasn't show-stoppingly slow like it was in FF.

I assume it blows the $30 price point up a bit but that's far preferable than having that one, show-stoppingly esoteric essential item on the list. This kind of thing is very cool weekend project fodder.

\nBut the bugs were show stoppingly terrible l, also completely unnessary platform differences, I would never go back.

Also, my experience is that over 90% of corporate code is absolutely terrible-- unusably, mind-stoppingly awful. Rolling the dice doesn't have the best odds.

Unfortunately, they've routinely shipped OS X versions of Firefox with show stoppingly-bad performance and UI bugs, and they've been far too conservative in addressing such issues. For years I rolled my own builds of Firefox just to include patches for important bugs that had been left languishing in bugzilla.

I think part of the problem is that there is no full letter/A4 device that isn't heart stoppingly expensive and hard to actually buy. I might have most of the texts I need to read in digital form but I'm not going to read it on a tiny eReader meant for pulp fiction and my iPad has too many distractions for me to honestly get through dense centent like text books.
