Not every less-than-glowing mention of something you like or support has to indicate hostility or 180 degree opposition.

He called the Nook Glowlight 3 "mediocre" and the Oasis "too expensive." Meanwhile he probably uses (what I would consider) a way overpriced, laptop and/or tablet and/or smartphone – and no major innovation has happened on those devices for years. If the device is fit for its use, why do we have to see "innovation" every year? Unfortunately application developers get trapped on this "innovation" treadmill and that's why we end up with bloatware that does too many things poorly. (And, for me – personally – a tablet or smartphone are poor reading devices.)
