No T2 Review? No new ereader reviews?

Rizla · 09-02-2012, 04:00 AM

The Sony T2 is out. Why is there no official review, etc? I appreciate there is an almost hidden link to a user thread in the front page (hard to find but there), but doesn't this news deserve more frontage? That goes for the other readers as they are released. New readers is big news. Probably the biggest. I find it strange that it is not given more weight.

Rizla, have you looked into the Sony subforum? I think it is quite discussed there.

In my opinion, the Sony subforum is the right place and not this News/General discussion forum here. Otherwise we will soon have parallel discussions going on.

And really, the T2 isn't very interesting. (Ducks for cover.)

More seriously, though: MobileRead doesn't have an editorial staff to write "official reviews". The content is generated by the members.

If a member has a new Sony T2 and wants to write a detailed review of it, we'd be delighted. If it was an interesting review, it would almost certainly get added to the front page.

This is not the first time I've looked for news and reviews re: new readers and not found it here. How weird. A simple thread, placed on the home page, requesting reviews from new owners would suck in traffic. Oh well. Think of all that advertizing revenue the site owner is missing out on
