What I don't understand, though, is if they are having a hard time getting a decent picture of the screen for whatever reason -- glare etc... why not just use the stock photo from the vendor. For example, what was wrong with the picture of the EZReader that was posted on Page 1? I'm sure Sony has plenty of images of the 700 that could be used. And why do it for some (like the Sony, the Iliad, and the EZReader) but not the Cool-er?

I don't think it is malicious. However, as someone pointed out, if I were Amazon, I would be none-too-happy that every eReader screen out there is being made to look like the Kindle.
