100% of the books I've read on Kindle are books I've purchased off the Kindle store, so I know nothing about converting PDFs or any other e-reader format. I have a Nexus 4 smartphone and a powerful desktop computer, and I have a Macbook Air that I use if I travel, so technology-wise I had no need for a tablet and went with an e-reader. | ||

Looking at e-ink is much more comfortable than reading an LCD screen, mostly because the LCD screen feels like your eyes are being saturated with light like when you use your computer, TV, etc. | ||

Well that implies your eyes aren't going to get any worse, but there's still a notable amount of eye strain on lcd vs e-ink. If you strictly plan on reading books, e-ink is the way to go, nothing quite like it. Seeing all these streamers playing hearthstone makes me soooooo mad jelly. | ||

F2P MtG would have had the potential to become insanely popular. yeah, although, to be fair, MTGO is an incredible cash farm. The margins are absolutely disgusting for wizards. When randy buehler left the company he indicated in a blog post that MTGO was only a few steps below names like civilization and simcity in terms of being the most profitable brand in strategy computer games. That's crazy, you can see why they wouldn't have much of an incentive to innovate with a river of cash like pouring into their vaults every day. Additionally, as a company they're just really bad at online products. They take a long time to improve releases and they're always kind of feature poor and disorganized. | ||

Like a kitten who just recognized they just scratched a bear in the face. | ||

They don't need to mess around with the database, and the card interaction logic is already there. I wonder how hard it is for them to hire a 3 or 4 UI experts to "reskin" everything. It's a very limited engine in terms of full magic interactions and the way it handles phases is really subpar for online play. The hard interaction logic of all the more complicated stuff would be pretty hard to replicate correctly. Not only that, all the glitter and flash does get in the way of just clicking all the cards as fast as possible | ||

I want. Looks like so much fun, very simple mechanics, but probably a lot of depth and strategy to the game as it goes through beta. | ||
