Advice time: A teenager wants to know how to properly review an E-reader!

...Yes, this thread will sound desperate...

Anyway, I have only ever demo'd two Sony readers, the 300 and the 600.

Don't get me wrong, I could have easilly reviewed them from right where I was standing.

But since there was a lack of resources I could go by, I refused to give an opinion until certain conditions were applicable.

Here's where I couldn't have a valid opinion on, and why:

- Design and weight, Best Buy used a highly retractive cable to thwart moronic thieves. Basic science keeps the initial weight away from me.

- The common neglect and abuse demo models regularily retain caused the PRS 300 and 600 to constantly bug out on me.

- I'm nowhere, even a pinch close, to being an e-reader expert, so as far as formatting goes, I did not bother with Doc. or whatever was supported.

When my nook finally arrives, and if I try other e-readers in the future, lead me on to how I can make an appropriate review without sounding like an executive newbie.
