You must be very careful of anything read on that particular site.

Very briefly last year, they advertised a service on their website where they essentially said they would run sponsored articles, specifically mentioning that those articles would give no indication that they were sponsored.

They removed the advertisement for such services shortly after it was revealed and roundly ridiculed in a forum on Mobileread. However, I have little doubt that they remain open to such practices. Their reviews are hardly rigorous or objective.

Were they paid for their "review" of the Note in question which was linked to?

Dunno. However, they offer the Note for sale on their site so they certainly have a vested interest in moving that product. Interestingly, the devices sold on their site ship from China, not from Vancouver where they are located.
