I doubt half of those reviewers own a Kindle Fire. I remember when the first Kindle came out. The product page had tons of one star reviews breathlessly ranting about the evils of restricted formats, vendor lock-in, and how printed books were way better than reading on an electronic device. And all of that before a single Kindle shipped to anyone.

I'm sure this article is just more speculation being passed off as "news."
