In what context and at what point in the book is this humble website mentioned. Also it is mentioned in what terms ?
I'm curious :D

Yes and there I find a description of the book, other books and a few lines about the author. I even CTRL+F on the word "mobileread" but nothing.

When *I* click on link, it brings up a search window with the relevant paragraph. Since I can't figure out how to do a copy and paste, here's a snapshot of the page.

I guess that is possible. Anyways I found the text elsewhere and this website is indeed quoted in a line. It's past half of the book and it goes like this:

Tony’s own morning ritual included visiting Slate and the Huffington Post—hardly an unusual combination—but also TrekMovie.com (the new film was shaping up to be so good!), MobileRead.com (he had a fascination with ebook-reading hardware even though he preferred paper books), Wired’s Threat Level blog, and the US weather forecast ...
