However, there is one feature that makes the Kindle pretty much a must-have for any book lover. And it is not often not talked about. Even when mentioned, it is just brushed over. Taken for granted. Because it is so obvious. What, however, is NOT obvious is how important it is. And no, I am not referring to the fact that e-books help conserve the environment, although that might be relevant given the fiery happenings in different parts of the world....

Though we don’t know the exact reason for abandoning the project, it’s interesting that they have stopped including the DM in plain text for email notifications....

These creations will be shared with all of the contacts you’ve selected with a persistent privacy setting, and subsequently, your friends can reply to them too....

But perhaps design and aesthetics are not the top priority of most of the crowd in this segment....
