Well, Kindle didn't pass the test in a 15.24%. A lot? I don't know. Can you show statistics regarding to another reader? So we can really compare. In other case, I see no point at it.

I don't own a Kindle, I have no desire to own a kindle, but I let people decide for themselves which e-reader they prefer. If they like the Kindle, by all means, get one.

They have very different views, but very similar MO. Just my 2cts.....

This one is just another fanboy. Look at his avatar, his constant bashing, and whiny self-defense attitude.

Well, as yet "bashing" is indeed a little bit too strong, but... Please review your last posts regarding the kindle. Then compare it to what Ocean did. (And you wrote clearly that you don't like what Ocean did in the nook-subforum).

To all: Fair play please, MR folks. Sometime or other everyone of us needs a second chance.

It looked to me like most complains were about the DRM, or the fragile screen, which are both problems on most other readers.

The amazon forum thread was started by an (alas) well known troll there. I won't comment anymore, but I don't believe at all in those kind of coincidences.
