The December 2012 issue had detailed ratings of 10 recommended E-book readers, including Sony and Kobo. The article indicated that it included:
"Recommended models only from 25 tested."
So ... Consumer Reports tested 25 E-book readers. The 10 recommended readers were detailed in December. It further culled the list for the August issue based on the criteria indicated above.

This.
I have an online subscription to CR, which doesn't follow the format of the print magazine, so I'm not sure exactly what the August issue said. But it is true that - 6 months ago - they tested 20-something e-ink readers, including Sony and Bookeen, and presented their normal extensive review. The mention of e-readers in the August issue doesn't look like an actual review of e-readers (they don't usually review the same item more than once a year), but just a reference to e-readers for people reading a review of tablets.
Although MR is probably still a better place to go for reviews...
