Therefore, I'm not wrong in omitting the name. If one wants to find it, it would be easy for them to do, yet at the same time I would be safe in the fact that I didn't recommend or sponsor any exact site since I didn't try them firsthand, which means that recommending them would be wrong.
Besides, MobileRead is not the only forum I've participated in. Some other forums
deeply frown on any sponsorship of products ... so you can call this omission a result of habit.

I don't know if the unspoken rules are different around here, but mentioning the name of the website might be misinterpreted as an implicit, subtle recommendation.

I'm not a clairvoyant. I must have obviously done a Google search of some form to know that there are used boards for $3 :-)
