Yep, around 18% higher not including tip, in my estimate. HEB (local Texas grocery chain featured here a few days ago) puts in just a 3% margin for pickup or delivery (before tip.) Walmart and Sams have no special delivery/pickup margi

agree - the hardware seems comparable to the Pocketbook Inkpad One ( https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch/catalog/e-notes/pocketbook-inkpa... ) but the latter is available for a lower price with no subscription.

macos has gotten worse about this in recent releases - I was astounded when I learnt that apple news, apple books, and apple music are uninstallable; these are still removable on ios but not on macos for some reason.
