yep, or this one, the green & blue are the same color

our visual perception are so easily fooled by so many factors, we even see color/shades differently based on the time of the day, health, age & mood. And cameras are useful to distort the reality to what the photographers' inner eye sees, not a reference tool.

When a device is just released, there are likely to be more negative reviews than a year after release, because of bugs that need to be sorted out in the begining. When the kindle 4 gets more (positive) reviews after that, the percentage 1 star reviews will lower.

Not just iron out the bugs, there're just simply lots of trolls. If you skimp through the actual 1-star "reviews" by clicking on "1 star", out of 21 reviews, 3 people actually bought it from amazon. The most "useful review" being the one complaining about spending 2-hours connecting to a wifi, and he/she finally "figured it out but it was clear to me that many, many people would not be able to do so..."

took me a 1-min to connect to my WPA2 protected wifi.
lots of others are just complaining that kindle does not support ePub, kindle 2 sucks, kindle is more expensive in other country in US, quality is bad because it breaks when you drop it, etc... all sort of non sense that's it's kinda amusing for a short read
