take a look at the other forums here, you don't see people posting on the kindle forum "the kindle doesn't have Qi so it sucks and is doomed to fail." it's just weird how some people have to brag about their displeasure with apple and what it sells. i don't understand why they feel the need to come in here and rant and rave that they don't like the iPad and aren't going to buy one. ok. so what? that's nice. have a great life. move on.
i didn't buy mcdonalds yesterday, don't see me coming on here and posting about it.

Better step over to the Kindle forum. (Or for the real experience, try the Irex forum!) You can see incessant comments like:
the Kindle needs color
page turns are extremely slow
the contrast is no good
PDF handling is no good
the browser is slow
etc, etc, etc
and guess what? Nobody is complaining! Such comments are good, because people who think about buying a device need the whole story. Not just glowing assessment about why Apple was right not to include a certain feature, but rather a serious discussion on how you can work around those problems. Why is the Apple forum the only forum where people try to shut others up for voicing some honest criticism? And yes, some points may be repeated by other users who have not read through every post on every thread. So what? I am studying the iPad threads because I have some interest in it and want to find out more -- good and bad. For example, I don't just want to hear "you don't need flash", I want to know if anything can be done about it.
