Fine, fine, fine. Giving them that (though it still seems sleazy to me), there's still a problem that they are an unreliable source of information.

Since they don't cite their sources, tend to report everything (including April Fool's jokes) as fact and don't later mention that they got it wrong, I find I can't trust anything they say.

They seem to report a new Kobo reader on the way six times a year. The confirmed that there would be a color, Liquavista Kindle years ago. Since none of their stories mentions the source, you never know whether it came from someone who knows Kobo's (or Kindle's) business or a homeless man muttering on the corner. So when can you trust their stories and when should you decide it's nonsense?
