While I dislike too much of a sales spiel, it is really nice to have a direct line of communication with an ebook reader producer, especially when there seems to be genuine responsiveness (e.g. the choice of the colours by the Mobileread membership). I think the term "weasely propagandizing" is a bit much and rather ad hominem. If he were that annoying to the general membership, would this thread have grown to thousands of posts? If there is an issue with the content of his posts shouldn't this be addressed in the form of policy regarding commercial posting?
Just my 2 cents.
