You realize that your own post can hardly be considered dispassionate, don't you? A lot of the recent passion about the Kindle on MobileRead has come from people who seem to have registered for the sole purpose of discussing comments posted on Amazon's site.
As usual, for the most part, the discussions on MobileRead have been predominately objective. A great many have been quite positive. (Many MR regulars have already bought Kindles.) That makes sense for a forum that is as likely to discuss an industry in general as it is to discuss any specific unit.
You want passion? Look up some of the old threads on DRM. Or, for a real thrill ride, do a search for "backlight" threads. Oh, the humanity.
