I'm sorry, but what she wrote was not a minor inaccuracy. It was a flat out significant mistake. Her saying that if the device runs out of power it becomes irrevocably damaged could not be more wrong and should not be glossed over as a writers style. I know I f I were the average customer reading that review I would steer the hell clear of a product like that. It's like a person writing a review on hairdryers saying that "the dryer will electrocute you when plugged in", but forgetting to add "if you drop it in the tub while you bathe".
A person who is taking the time to write a review of a product, who incidently wrote that no paper documentation, save the 5 x 7 sheet that came int he box, should at least read that one page through before posting such an egregious error.

Come on now. That's a cop out. One does not need to do research in one day on a product they would like to buy. If you could spare a half an hour, you would find an awful lot about any product. Incidently if one goes to google and enters Irex Iliad, A mobileread topic will be third on the list. If the reviewer was serious about researching, she would have found Mobileread in about a half a second.
