I've never understood why people were so uptight over the karma system. I've been a member for 2.5 years and up until recently had less than 2k karma. Since I normally posted in the kindle / deals forum there really wasn't a lot of karma being thrown around.
Just because someone has 100 or 10,000,000 karma a well thought out post is just as relevant. If someone tells me a book I've been thinking of reading is formatted horribly or that a new firmware update breaks a feature, I'm not looking at the karma count I just want the information.
To me the best feature of karma is being able to add a comment when someone hits the post, it can range anywhere from a simple thank you to you made me fall out of my chair laughing.
