I used to work for a well-known print magazine that did tech reviews and I can tell you that there were no companies trying to sway the editorial staff, beyond lending them review products. BUT it is certainly true that the review product would go to someone who was only using it for a short time in order to write a review. Not the same as someone who actually wants the device and actually uses it for its intended purpose.
And I agree that the reading software and fonts are not well-covered in reviews.
