  • Apparently, steering the entire industry towards women’s interests by flooding the market with books about fucking animals and mythological beasts doesn’t require any high-level criticism. Whodathunkit? Shoulda seen that one coming, her type of “criticism” is what led us here by only ever recommending women authors. She should have realized long ago that there’s no need to criticize works when you might accidentally reveal it’s all slop geared towards the lowest common denominator, which is why reviews of any type are a rare find in the written word these days; they actively harm sales.

    Shocker, this idiot can’t help herself, even after losing her job, with this joke of an interview going on about incels and looksmaxers, yet another woman obsessed with sex. Even as reality rears its ugly head, this woman who helped destroy the very industry she worked in just keeps on going down the same pathetic path. Congrats, you turned the book industry into a porn industry for women, and guess what, porn doesn’t require a review, you already know what you are getting.
























  • If you can’t afford it, it isn’t for you, basically. It literally is a fashion accessory with a leather bed for the fancy pen, precisely what Montblanc is known for, and you’re arguing about a couple hundred bucks difference. Die on that hill if you like, but it’s telling how you’re convinced of its quality having never used it and zero reviews available.

    Personally I think it’s compelling, somewhat, and am curious how it was designed and what parts are used. I won’t buy one, but there is clearly a place in the market, as Supernote has proven.

    By the by, you ever wonder why nobody bothers posting to Lemmy? I sure don’t, pedantic semantics looks to be the main sport here, but hey why discuss the subject of this sub when the main feed can be filled with the inane questions of the lazy instead, amirite ;)


  • not that far off, especially compared to Montblanc’s typical pricing.

    Like if you wanna ignore that part, sure. This company sells $500 ballpoint pens, their watches are $3k and up. Last I looked they have a fancy pen that comes with the tablet. This is all very on brand for them, so like I said it’s surprising it doesn’t cost more. So yes I’d say similar ballpark to competitors, it ain’t like this is $3k or something, it’s under a grand, like all E Ink note taking tablets.

    And this isn’t even the first company to come up with selling a fancy pen for an E Ink note-taking device. Supernote has been selling fancy stylus pens for years now, including Lammy. All Montblanc is doing here is riding their coattails with their own branding.
