Apple rumored to introduce MacBook with scissor switch keyboard in mid 2020
am I seriously the only one here without issue with the keyboard? I enjoy the butterfly keyboard. my wife has the MacBook with the butterfly keyboard too and thinks that she types faster on it. I like the less travel and the evenness of the keystrokes. I have never had any issue and I use mine every day. To be fair, I also have a no food/drink near the computer policy that is strictly enforced. -
Amazon Kindle versus iPhone XS Max: choosing the best e-book reader
I read 1,000 pages or more a week (I teach at a university and research is a never ending). I do not have a kindle because for me it would be one more device. also- I have to convert any epub I buy elsewhere into amazon format (impossible if I bought the book through apple), apple's books app will take ANY ePub regardless of where I purchased it from (I have not run into any problem so far).
I am Scottish so direct sunlight of any kind for more than 10 minutes could result in severe sunburn or death, therefore I have no use for the ability to read in direct sunlight (not knocking the feature though).
I have an iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro. I read on the train, I read in my office, I read at home. where I left off I can pick up instantly. I like the notes and highlighting better as well.
lastly, I know this is shallow, but as I paid for the books I want them to be just as I want them. so if I find a better cover on the internet, I just download that image and drag and drop that image onto the book in books.app on my laptop and now I have a more aesthetic image, in my opinion (on al my devices). I could never find out how to do that for kindle other than using calibre.app and cracking into the book to make the change, making it not worth it.

So in the future when you'd like to hear my opinion on something please try to do so without resorting to what is essentially juvenile name-calling. It comes off as both bumptious and uncultivated whether it's done by a fellow forum member or a head of state, and I'm pretty certain that's not the perception you would wish to leave.
