Only that they've made the perhaps slightly questionable decision to categorise the iPad as an eBook reader. Is that what you were referring to?

I guess that is saying something about the iPad as competition for eReaders.

They used "eReaders" as the page title (no hyphen).

Sorting by "best-sellers" puts the iPad at the end of the list - accessories at the top ....

Well, they seem to be selling Cool-ers, who have allegedly gone tits-up.

They're selling the Elonex for £20 more than its list price at Waterstones. So much for being a discount computing superstore... Outsold by a bookshop.

Nothing wrong that I can see...they've got some low-end readers like the COOL-ER, the Sony, and the Elonex, and some high-end readers in the iPad group.

Is it the fact you marked the URL as program code (the # icon) rather than as a clickable link (the world icon)?

Could it be that even though the URL contains lots of "XXX"s it still doesn't go to a porn site?
