This is pretty much a fallacy, and untrue for anyone with the ability to download Calibre.

PCPro have made really poor use of flash: it's washed out the eink and cut the apparent contrast of the screen in half. Should have used a soft-box (or what's wrong with natural light, and going outside the office?). That's what comes from getting a reviewer, rather than a photographer, to take the photos.

PCA mention the English dictionary, but none of the multitude of foreign language dictionaries on the device, which would be a major selling point for me.

Maybe the issue is that ereaders are very different from other 'tech' gadgets - the idea is that the techy bits phase themselves out of your attention as you read. So perhaps gadget sites aren't the ideal people to be reviewing the devices.
