Current version of the Wikipedia "Controversy" section, with cite notes linking to the actual sources (this thread & the Digital Reader thread) instead of the Wikipedia notes section:

Quote:
On July 25th, 2013 Ectaco was revealed to have been engaging in astroturfing on the MobileRead discussion forums.[5] Over the course of 5 years, two Ectaco employees posed as regular consumers of Ectaco products and used their forum memberships in an attempt to drum up phony grassroot support for Ectaco and its products. This is strictly against MobileRead policy, and the forum members in question have since been banned from the MobileRead website.


Ectaco has also been revealed to have been engaging in astroturfing on 2 ereader blogs and at least one other online forum.[6]
