I wasn't really bothered by the tone of the original post until I read the responses and then the OP's response to the responses. People took the original post as harsh and then the OP, instead of trying to soften things, talked about how they got it wrong. Anyway, if the OP still wants responses I suggest he try asking instead of demanding.

If the goal is simply to get information and reviews I suggest Youtube.

If the goal is really to start a discussion I suggest asking a question.

[edit]By the way, I do think a thread on the differences and opinions about all ereaders would be interesting, especially with the focus, as the OP said, on the devices and not the ecosystems. My preference would be to include all ereading devices including Kindles, phones, tablets, etc.

So, would anyone like to discuss the advantages of the various ereading platforms? I would.[/edit]
