Reviews forum?
Ok, if this idea has already been forwarded or talked about before, forgive me for dragging this up, but I didn't find anything that mentioned this idea specifically, so here it is.
What do you guys think about having a reviews forum? I'm thinking that it could be placed under the "news" forum at the top, and like the news forum, it could take in posts from both mobile read members and staff.
The purpose of the forum would, of course, be for listing reviews found on the web about various ereading devices (and possibly ebooks too, but that's just an idea). I know that right now the reviews that are posted here end up in the respective ereader forums. I'm instead thinking that a centralized forum for them would work better.
The two primary reasons for this are: 1) One stop shopping. IE, you wouldn't have to hunt everywhere to find reviews on ereaders. 2) The reviews wouldn't need to be stickied in forums and wouldn't get lost in the barrage of support and information threads in each of the individual ereader forums. Forum thread titles could also be made to follow a specific format as well (similar to the free ebooks section) to simplify searching and browsing. Maybe something like "Device - Location (score if applicable or available)"
Example: Sony PRS-600 - Cnet (4.5 out of 5)
Again, this is just an idea, but I did want to toss it out for consideration.
