I don't think anyone is going to really agree with an excellent, good, fair type rating for e-readers. There are many people here who are very devoted to their readers.

I would suggest that you let people choose the features that are most important to them and then have the devices rated based on the ones that meet most of those criteria.

So someone looking for an e-reader with touchscreen, no wifi, pearl screen, and expandable memory would have a result of excellent returned for the Sony 650 and a Poor for a Kindle. Someone looking for an e-reader with 3G, TTS, and Pearl Screen would get an excellent for a Kindle and a Poor for a Sony 650.

ie make the ratings reflect the features that are important for the user and not based on reviews and subjective opinions of a particular e-reader.
