It's not just the moderators who are green, also the other people involved in the site (Alexander Turcic as the owner (or at least manager) and Verencat as facebook maintainer).
Also many people who work for or own ereader/file format/publishing companies or are writers post here mostly for personal reasons and not because of their work. There are a few people who use this site for advertising, but they are easy enough to recognize.
The people crying censorship and claiming moderators are in the pocket of Sony and Amazon in the Astak thread were way off base in my opinion. The thread they wanted promoted to the front page was a thread about a temporary price cut, i.e. pure advertising. That 4 Sony threads managed to get to the front page in a short time was because each of those Sony threads contained some new information about the readers, which is interesting for everyone.
As for your claim that the forum would be MUCH healthier with your changes, I think you first need to show that the forum is not healthy as it is. The same with you saying that which device a moderator owns influences their moderating.
