I have 15 years' experience in designing web and mobile applications end-to-end. I specialize in founding design at startups where I own everything design, including product design, design systems, landing pages, brand identities, and marketing design.

And, adding this to userChrome.css removes all rounded corners

    :root {
     --border-radius-small: 0 !important;
     --border-radius-medium: 0 !important;
     --border-radius-large: 0 !important;
     --border-radius-xlarge: 0 !important;
     --border-radius-circle: 0 !important;

I guess the hardcovers are better because they are not printed in India. From what I've seen with nonfiction books, the ones printed in India are only softcovers—pathetic paper/build quality, and poor readability because they're smaller than their US counterpart (usually 19.8 cm long in India compared to 23.5 cm in the US), and the US layout is shrunk to fit the Indian size. So, any hardcover is imported from the US and thus of better quality.

The article could have been more useful if its point was just 'use sufficient contrast'. As it is, the article is overly prescriptive, and feels like trying too hard to be sensational or cute.

Reduce it to the size of iPhone 5 and make the main camera flush with the surface, and I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
