Well, I have affinity for Marco Arment because of the software he created, Instapaper. For me, it's THE killer app for iPad and e-ink readers. (I download the epubs to load on my Sony Reader.) If you haven't used it, I recommend it highly for people to try it out. www.instapaper.com

I don't think the review is fanboyish. First he starts off his review giving a link to a very favorable review of Nook 2. He also gives specifics of why the Kindle's font is better than Nook 2's. He also knocks the Kindle for lack of touchscreen and the archaic interface. OTOH, the comment, "so lack of font is a feature, got it." Now, that's fanboyism.

But, if you have EVIDENCE or text from reviews (you know, textual proofs) that Nook 2 contrast is just as good as Kindle's, I'd like to see it.
