Bezels are good. Bezels are GREAT. They give you something to hold without interacting with the screen.

If you've ever used a device with edge-to-edge, you know you have to hold it like a diva with 10-inch nails—it is neither comfortable nor effective.

In my opinion, the industry's trend towards smaller-and-smaller bezels has made it MORE difficult to interact with them than the advances gained by having a few millimeters larger screens.

Leave the bezels alone, bud

What's wrong with virtual bezels? Seems to me to be the best of both worlds. People who can't handle an ipad without bezels can just configure whatever they want.

I didn't know that was a thing. Granted, I don't own one... but my grandmother does and would benefit from this feature. I suspect the people who need it the most are the least likely to know it's an option. With real bezels they don't need to.

My Boox device has small bezels around three edges and one large bezel around the left edge. It's terrific, I can hold it comfortably and there's a quick button to switch orientation if I want the bezel on another side.

Makes me think of my MacBook Air. The only part of the screen with fingerprints on it is over the front facing camera.
