I bought some glue-on Pop Sockets from Amazon (yes, I know, one shouldn’t do that) for my Kobo ebook reader.
(Speaking of which, this is my third one. The first one had buttons that were so hard to push that I had to push them with my nail. The second one had buttons that worked fine… 90% of the time. Which is maddening! You click the button, and move your eyes up to the top of the page, and during the saccade you don’t really see anything so you start reading at the top of the page… and 10% of the time it’s the same page again. So I got this Kobo Libra 2, and the buttons are finally usable: Not too hard, and they work 100% of the time. I know, I know, I could just tap the screen instead, but moving the thumb just isn’t optimal.)
Errr… what’s this picture about… OH YEA! I was talking about that Pop Socket! Because I glued it to the back of the Kobo so that I wouldn’t actually have to grip it, but that ridge (in the first picture up there *points*) left me horribly scarred! For life! Or at least a couple of minutes.
(Picture of Pop Socket on the back of the Kobo.)
So today I went to, like, a physical store, and like, physically bought a new Pop Socket. Physically. And behold! No ridges!!!
Did Amazon sell me a counterfeit (and life-threatening, I mean, finger-destroying) Pop Socket!? I have no idea, but I’m going to assume they did, because they’re Amazon.
