I know its not nearly as important as other features but the price CAN be an important criteria for some.▼

:I agree. The problem with adding it here, though, is that the price can change at any time. Thus, I don't think it would be a good idea to add it. —[[User:Philantrop|Philantrop]] ([[User talk:Philantrop|talk]]) 13:20, 31 October 2011 (UTC)▼
::I think there is still an argument to record price. I am impressed by the scope and breadth of these tables, and think they an important contributor, without value judgements, to those who seek to compare eReaders. On the other hand, wikis like that are exactly the way to store data that CAN change; and in truth iPhone apps prices tend to change slowly. Further they almost never go up, only down. For those who use price as a criterion - and doubtless many people do - this is as good a place to record it as any?

::: Ok, I checked and there's precedent for adding AppStore prices so I added a table for that. —[[User:Philantrop|Philantrop]] ([[User talk:Philantrop|talk]]) 15:07, 31 October 2011 (UTC)▼
What about Ibis Reader and readMe -- do you think we should be including these? —[[User:HPG|HPG]] ([[User talk:HPG|talk]]), 13:07, 2011-01-01 (UTC)
:Most certainly, yes! The more, the merrier! I simply didn't add them because I didn't know about them till yesterday. —[[User:Philantrop|Philantrop]] ([[User talk:Philantrop|talk]]) 20:07, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Suggestion from MobileRead Forums: "Please add a column on whether the app can display two pages in landscape. I know iBooks and Kindle can, and Bluefire and Kobo cannot. Nook on the iPad gives you the option." [[User:Philantrop|Philantrop]] ([[User talk:Philantrop|talk]]) 16:55, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, believe it or not, Kobo doesn't let you delete books except through iTunes. It was my favorite until I found that out. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Broberds|Broberds]] ([[User talk:Broberds|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Broberds|contribs]]) 12:19, 25 October 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Oh, that's really weird. I've added that as a note among the [[Comparison of iOS e-book reader software#Special features|Special features]] for Kobo.
