Do we really need the negativity?

JSWolf,

I understand where you are coming from and the argument you are presenting, however I believe your disdain for the 'review' and the following comments regarding are damaging to your point and this site.

I have been a long time tablet pc user, and for a lively forum with lots of answers and discussion, gottabemobile.com is a good resource, just like mobileread.com is for my recently purchased Sony Reader.

For those who would criticize the design of the site, lets first look in the mirror here. Neither site is trying to be a C|net or arstechnica...but rather a community. Resources are limited and they can't purhase every device.

The community here should really be behind any positive attention being paid to eReaders as a whole, as more attention leads to more sales, more devices, more competition and overall a better marketplace for our fun little devices. The current marketplace is too small for fanboyism and namecalling.

I applaud the Inkshow and side by side video. It was good to see some of the kindle features in action by REAL users. Rob and Sierra are doing more to get the word out about eReaders than most of you who've commented on this thread.
