I totally agree. I left a review but I bought my PW2 at Best Buy. I think it is short sighted of Amazon to restrict the verified purchase badge to those who only directly bought from Amazon.com. To verify that you have a Kindle registered to your account is extremely easy for Amazon. You have to sign in to leave a review and they verify the registered Kindle in your account. Pretty damn simple, but they don't seem to want to do that for some reason.
Also, I just noticed the totally BS reviewer badges of
Hall of Fame Reviewer and
Top 10 Reviewer. Give me a effing break Amazon. Just because some a$$hole makes a zillion reviews doesn't mean any of them are worth reading. And guess what, all the first viewable reviews are from people with the
Hall of Fame Reviewer and
Top 10 Reviewer badges. This just makes me think the deck is stacked more than ever.
