What’s wrong with e-reader reviews

December 16th, 2010 · 6 Comments · opinion

There’s no feeling so good as when I read a rant about how everyone is reviewing e-readers wrong and I  find out I’m getting most of the points right, not wrong. It’s a good day. Mike Cane forwarded this rant to me today. It was written by Beranger, and it’s a pretty good critique of [...]
