> They are of decent quality

I got two and they were absolute shit.

So much so that it was the first time ever I actually returned something to Amazon. From blurred cover "art" stretched from what looked like 30dpi image to godawful sans-serif font in humongous size with line spacing so tight some characters ascenders and descenders overlapped. Made my eyes bleed. Even if they paid me to read this, it still would've been a torture.

I had a similar experience. Transparent paper with glossy ink that made looking at images not enjoyable, visible pixels in the text. I don't care about the ugly cover but the reading experience was in some ways inferior to an e-ink device, while it should be the opposite.

Maybe their strategy now involves degrading the print experience sufficiently that people start thinking their Kindles are the superior experience.

First they came for the bookstores, then they came for the publishers….
