The store is relevant to plenty of people. If I had access to every bookstore but the Amazon bookstore, I'd never have an eReader because the other bookstores fail so thoroughly at having content I want at competitive prices.
It talks plenty about the device itself - they say it's of shoddy craftsmanship, has a terrible interface and hard to press buttons. What are you wanting from a review that isn't from an ebook expert? This seems to be about in line with much of the other things I've read on the device.
I don't think we should doubt Wired had a device in hand for the review - Wired runs a tight enough ship that such a impugning judgment is not warranted or fair. You might not like their judgment, but that is a very different thing then essentially calling them liars.
I'm not endorsing the review, I just stumbled upon it and felt it might be useful to some people. I don't particularly care about it in any regard - though I like the colors.
