I just had to comment....Okay here goes...

1. Really? Higher pixel count is going to make text that much better to read vs whatever tablet/e reader you have now? If you're not holding it up to your nose like you said, there's not difference and the publishers are going to have to reformat all the ebooks to make use of that extra space so what's the point? I'd still rather have a book in my hands like the others said.

2. Rather go to my local bookstore or library and still get the books for wayyy cheaper if not free, I don't need to read it right when it comes out.

3. Unless I'm doing research on my topic I could care less about the extra stuff that the ebook would point to. I'm reading a damn book with a plot, not reading a wikipedia entry trying to get distracted by everything.

In the end, hell, if you have the money to spend, it's a nice little toy to have but to each their own. I bought a HP touchpad for $99 and put ICS on it and still don't touch it but yeah sure at least properly formatted magazines/pictures/videos/movies/websites that utilize all those extra pixels on the new iPad will look nice for you.

I did the kickstarter too like @TheWholesomeHome, pretty damn disapponted myself. Used them in my Contigo Autoseal Stainless Steel thermos and it definitely helped it get to drinkable temp faster but staying warmer for longer it definitely did not.

As for @asmallcontempt's comment as for that's what air is for. That's a good one but some people just want to enjoy their coffee to wake the hell up and not get burned man lol. But for the price, totally agree with you, in retrospect, totally wouldn't have bought it.

Why not get some heat shrink to make it waterproof again?
