Well put. The more I thought about it after the fact and with what Jon said above about he 10X difference in book size it really comes across like they were schilling for Amazon (this review seems to go beyond their usual incompetence). This really seemed like a review of the Voyage with the Glo HD as the "old" product they were comparing with. Even at the end when they are saying which is better, they seem to not want to say the Glo HD is a good option in any way.
