Hi All, The so-called Review of the Kindle Fire can hardly be called a review. More-over it is hardly impartial, and deliberately misleading!! Furthermore, is a statement for advocating a different device. First, why does the author hide behind a title instead of stating his name, flat out. Why he had bought the machine and in which affiliation. Well, he has himself come forward. He also, admitted that he knew he would be getting the ads. Yet, his review gives you the idea that he had no idea that he would be getting ads. Furthermore, he, also, did not mention that the ads could be stop for a fee. He has in the mean time, mentioned on this list, that he could do this, but did want to waste PG's MONEY. As BB has mentioned the so-called review is not a review at all, but a RANT. I agree, with is opinion. I do not believe that PG should be advocating such reviews. Especially, in the light that practically all ereaders that use DRMed texts are locked down. True, some make it easier to get other free content from other sources than their official sites. Personally, I will not be buying a Kindle of any sort, nor a nexus, nor any dedicated ereader. PG should not advocate buying any particular device and stay impartial. Such behavior will be damaging in the end. regards Keith J. Schultz
