Good point. However, I only see those kinds of reviews here at Mobileread.
I find negative reviews more credible here than elsewhere that's because we understand what the Reader is for.

Because someone isn't an eBook reader does not mean that they don't understand what they're reviewing. Don't assume they confuse this with a PDA or a laptop. Although I occasionally read a book on my Palm, I'm a reader, I'm not an eBook reader. <chomp>

I stop reading "reviews" the minute they look for backlight, search, and refreshes or any similar "features." I put myself in their shoes and think that if I look for this, it's only because I've already used/experienced these features in... PDAs and laptops. Besides that, I'm betting that the Reader was used for only a few minutes and only for the "review."
