Without evidentiary assumption that the review was paid for is ridiculous ... At least if you know how much the author tries to review all soih surveys to be objective ...
In the user comments many people asked about PDF and DJVU files handling. Why would anybody otherwise buy a large screen 902? Its primary use for most users would be technical documentation in PDF or DJVU format. The response of the reviewer to those questions essentially was "if you want to know how 902 handles PDF and DJVU then BUY THE DEVICE and see for yourselves." That response alone is an automatic no-buy of 902 for me for now as it says much more than anything he could have said in the actual review.

That website is sponsored by Pocketbook. In effect, the review is paid for by Pocketbook. If the author tried to be objective he would not outright refuse to discuss PDF and DJVU files.
