I love Consumer Reports but they're really not very good at rating specialized equipment. From Wranglers to DSLRs, Consumer Reports rates things for the average person's needs, not necessarily the average user's needs. An eReader is such a specialized piece of equipment. There are going to be things we do every day that they didn't even test. There's also going to be things that Consumer Reports hammers eReaders on that just aren't that big of a deal to us as users. For washers and dryers or TVs, I trust their advice completely. For this sort of thing? Not so much.
