I found it interesting that when he mentioned amazon "TTS" no mention of this feature being disabled.
Did anybody notice when he criticized the eBook store for lack of ebooks and showed a "0" search result, he was looking for a "Harry Potter" book. He should have been fair and showed the same search on the Amazon page.
The video was great entertainment value but aside from that it was a very poor review.
Sorry I'm with John Stewart's view on the media, its the journalist job and responsibility to do a good job on any story they write

I work for Astak and am a competitor of the Cool-er... but even I feel that Poque was wrong in bringing in the Kindle by comparison. Poque lists all the things he likes about the Kindle ( wireless, text-to-voice, etc.) but never remotely touches on all the bad things about the Kindle (text-to-voice lawsuit, sound of text-to-voice, 80 Million buttons on the front, and the infamous "You buy Kindle, you buy Kindle eBook forever".
Jesus, how often do people want to change the font size anyway? YES, they do want to pick the size they need but once you pick it I would say you tend to stay with that size. To rip a device because you have 8 font choices and criticize it for having so many font choices that you have extra steps... that goes overboard.
Plus... wireless is not the best thing in the world. Many otherwise devoted eBook Reader fans would prefer to download thru the computer. I am not against wireless by any means... I am just saying that some want it and some do not. It is NOT a legitimate reason to rip an eBook Reader in comparison.
