The negative reviews have started on Amazon.
I noticed that all the spammers and trolls have taken up residence on the Kindle 2 product page and have started giving 1 star reviews for a product they don't even own.
I especially like the guy who hates the Kindle 2 because it doesn't have integrated solar power or a color screen for under $100. |

He should be pointed to the Pomegranet Page. He can sit and breathlessly wait for his ideal to come to life for as long as it takes...

And it is very easy to read these reviews and know when someone is being serious or stupid. And the reviews based on nothing at all are the stupid ones.

I'm ready to hear some real reviews on the Kindle 2. I just used a friends K1 over the weekend and was really impressed by it. I want to buy one, but I want to see the K2 first.

Nobody seems to mind the positive reviews by people who don't have a Kindle II yet

With a paperback, there is wear and tear. With a digital copy, there would be no difference between a used or new copy. Why would anybody pay more if you could buy a used copy for cheaper or chip in a dollar and start a book train with multiple people? |

Those aren't reviews they just happen to be in the review section.

I wonder if there's any way Amazon could let you know which reviewers actually purchased the product from them? That would help a lot.

The trolls are slow to get to Amazon...
cNet has had their page up for easily two weeks and the bogus "reviews" have been there since the page went live... |
