    Words in other languages, such as "software", "firmware", "web", "ebooks", "hacked", should be in quotes or italics, and you do not do either. In Spanish the order for the quotation marks would be first «» after »» and, finally, ''. In addition to that, I usually see many mistakes and oversights, the occasional laism, and so on. This page is related to e-book readers and therefore to reading. You should pay more attention when writing the news and articles. I say it humbly. I make mistakes, but I try to make them less and less. And in the same way that an ordinary person tries to improve day by day, I think that the Internet pages should also do it. What's more, they are supposed to have more responsibility because what they write reaches a lot of people. So, what has been said, let's try to improve the language every day.

    Anonymous, you use quotation marks quite badly. On the other hand, this is a technology page, not language or literature. But you are partly right: it is written quite badly, each time worse.

    Sorry, I wanted to say that you misuse commas, not quotes ... How pedantic are we for diox!
