Like there arn't enough threads / forums for me to wander through already.

Just post it in the lounge and be done with it! Mark it with the best tag you can think of.

Meh....
It would just get lost in the Lounge. And I do have the lounge turned off from showing new messages. I'll go into the lounge and manually look around to see what I want to read. To me, the Lounge is a place for threads that don't have to do with eBooks or readers. That is why I think the Lounge is not an appropriate place for what I want to post.

The thing is, where does a thread go on eBook readers that transcends a single brand or specific model? Yes, I could put it in News and Commentary, But it's not really news and it's not a commentary.

Not general enough and in some cases too general. I do feel that News and Commentary should be made just News and a new general forum section take the place of Commentary. That would solve a lot of the problems of threads in News & Commentary that do not belong there.

Now that we have an MR military staff, where's AM with the MR trebuchets?

As News and Commentary is technically a Sub-Forum of E-Book General, I've often wondered why the E-Book General forum is not itself available for thread posts. I always figured it was a design preference, since none of the top-level forums seem to allow posts.

See, I've been saying we need a general purpose forum that is not the lounge. A place to talk about readers that's not device specific overall.
I would agree, and if this post is for a non-specific device, then surely the 'best' location for it would be in the E-Book Devices section ?

That is how I have read the meaning of "Commentary". And that reading was probably inspired by how the "News and Commentary" forum was used.

Actually I have proposed a general section a long time ago for all of the divisions of the forum to cover all the bases. However, it didn't seem to go anywhere. I like a general eBook section and a general devices section. I too thing the news section should be news and commentary about the news.

There isn't a forum for "general/multi ebook devices" discussion. There's a forum for each device, and one for "which one should I buy?" A discussion about "what kind of reading light works best for you" would seem bizarre in "which one should I buy?"

I can't believe I'm about to agree with Jon but I firmly believe this to be the way to go. A section just for News would cut out a lot of the clutter that is currently there and a general ebook forum would make it easy to post about things that just don't appear to belong anywhere else and are currently just lumped in the News and Commentary forum.
