LCD Trip
For those whose eReaders are still stuck on that farm in Kansas, the kaleidoscopic cyclone of color on the Literati’s LCD can be disorienting, even psychologically shattering. And the Literati’s price tag seems to shake the pillars on which consensus reality rests. When the monochrome world dissolves, it can take all the old preconceptions and certainties with it.
An eReader in color? For fifty bucks? It’s no wonder that weaker, more timid, or more uptight minds can’t handle the chasm between this new reality and everything they thought they knew. The mental leap demanded by the Literati is just too great. (Or at least, we’re hoping that psychedelic psychosis explains all the negative reviews the Literati got last year.)
The important thing is to remember that you’re a living organism on this planet, and you’re very safe. You’ve just taken a heavy dose of the Sharper Image Literati. Once the panic subsides, you’ll embrace the millions of new ebook experiences available through the Kobo ebookstore.
Everything’s going to be OK. Really. Unless you already paid too much for a monochrome eReader. We can’t help you with that.
