  • This article has completely missed a selling point of e-readers for people like myself: no constant refreshing.

    My eye strain, when reading for a long time, doesn’t come from the light (or lack thereof), which is evident as a positive of backlit Kindles and other e-readers, though the constant flicker of screens. E-ink solves this issue perfectly, and with every device in that article mentioning “60Hz” on their alternatives I feel as though they’ve missed a big point of having an e-reader and what exactly constitutes as “paper like” (it’s a lot more than just “low/no backlight”).








  • These things being taken down is an eventuality no one can avoid, however if no one but Nintendo sees it, and takes it down, not many people will know about it.
    By spreading these things when they are good it encourages a lot of things. It encourages backups, communities dedicated to preservation of files or at least discussion of them (through piracy of course, though still counts). Making more people aware of them also makes some talented individuals realise that they have the capability to get into these things themselves. Etc.

    I for one had no idea about this prior to this post, and Super Mario: Sunshine is one of my favourite games, so I’m excited to try this mod out later.
