I'm a new user. I got my Kindle 3G yesterday. I can't say much myself as a new user, but I do want to state that it seems that most reviews from any source on any product seem to regurgitate what is given in the promotional literature for a device.
While I can appreciate the promotional literature such as what Amazon provided for the Kindle (a big reason I bought the thing along with price), having the same info provided in reviews is worthless. I buy enough items and I am a discerning enough consumer that I like to see reviews that are unbiased and thorough, but that is actually harder to find than one would expect.
I do like the user reviews that places like Amazon provide as I can often find what I want with a little effort, and I'd much rather wade through the obviously biased reviews for the few gems than to deal with the same project literature time and time again. Forums like this tend to be fantastic, too.
