I was also very disappointed in the MobileRead front page coverage of the iPad.

I don't have the front page history but my memory is that when the Kindle DX was announced there was multiple entries on the front page about it. I think there was even news about covers for it. This was basically a screen size increase from 6" to 9.7". I agree it was news and deserved the coverage though.

I don't expect equal coverage on all devices and I understand there are slow news weeks where MobileRead is probably digging for news to throw up there. In any measure of mobile reading though I think the iPad and iBook store was big news.

I have to question the objectivity and editorial process of what is worthy of front page coverage when Apple iPad was ignored.
